Export Search Results

You can perform a search and export the search results to a CSV or Excel file.

To specify the attributes to be exported:

Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

In UCMDB, go to Administration > Infrastructure Settings Manager > UCMDB Browser settings.

Do the following:

In the Name column, choose Minimal export of search results and choose True if you want to export only the display label, class name, CI ID, and Global ID attributes for each CI. Choose False if you want to export all attributes that are displayed in the Properties Widget.

Additional attributes can be excluded if they are marked in the CI Type Manager in UCMDB. For details, see the description of the Hide in Export Search Results qualifier in the Modeling section of the UCMDB Help.
In the Name column, choose Remove logical attributes (owner, location) from export of search results and choose True to remove the owner and location attributes from the exported search results.
