Search Types

You can search for groups created in the system by applying different ways of searching:

Basic

This is the default option. It provides some default search criteria, but other criteria can be added from the add criteria option. 

Each search criterion will have different search forms depending on the type of data in the particular field. For example, a text field provide four different options to search, "Contains", "Start with", "End with" and "Equals", a date field provide the date "Since" and date "Until".

Each criterion will be added to the previous ones.
