Search use cases 

Find a specific a role

There is a bunch of roles working together in the regulatory team (head of regulatory, regulatory manager, regulatory specialist) and we want to know where they are involved in a process

  • Type "regulatory" in the search panel. This will match our 3 roles.
  • In the filter tab, uncheck all options but "Responsibilities" so this will search only in the responsibility field of boxes
  • Refresh the search
You will be able to see where the regulatory team is involved in the process

Check the number of occurence of a term

There is a suspicion that the team overuses Excel reporting in the process. You have systematically captured the tools used in the attachment of each box. It would be interesting to know to know how often Excel has been mentioned.

  • Type "excel" in the search panel
  • See the result count
  • In the analytics tab, you could see the total number of boxes and make a ratio.
