Searching
CIP combines multiple search techniques to provide you with a tiered approach to searching that balances speed, simplicity, and results. Each type of search offers a unique and optimized search approach that enable you find your data quicker and easier than ever before.
| Quick Search: |
Quick search is as the name states the fastest search available providing you with search criteria mostly related to date ranges and shifts and broad filters for certain logs or departments. The quick search allows you to build a search using simple criteria such as: 'Show me all equipment service logs which were written last quarter during first shift'.
|
| Standard Search: |
The standard search tools allow you to search for particular types of data such as reports, persons, vehicles, etc. The search criteria available includes all standard data available as well as all custom fields and custom report data created on custom reports. |
| Advanced Search: |
Advanced search as the name implies is the most advanced search and allows you to cross reference data to create very complex searches such as 'Show me all procedural violations where the report author was john doe and the employee was jane doe and the report was written last month". |
| Free Text Search: |
Possibly our most popular search feature is the free text search where you can just type any information you know and CIP will find the best matching reports, think of it like using google on your own reports and logs. For example doing a free text search for 'white male craps jason' would return all white males named Jason who are known to play craps. |
| Memorized Search: |
Memorized searches are a very powerful tool where you can construct a complex search and then memorize it so that it is available as a one-click search option. You can even use memorized searches to extend your CIP installation to include custom controls and buttons. |
Analytics
CIP includes an advanced analytic system which is directly integrated to Microsoft Excel enabling you to both use our built in analytics and craft your own custom analytics.

Using customizable analytics and reports we can craft your management reports such as month end and quarterly reports to automate this repetitive task. |
