Create searches

Use FactoryTalk AssetCentre Searches to show specified records from the Event Log, Audit Log, Diagnostics and Health Log, Archive History Log, the Archive Check In and Check Out Status, or the Asset Extended Property. Search results can be based on any column of data in a record and are generated based on complex conditions that you set. To query logs without using complex conditions or to be able to open record attachments from within search results, use Quick Search.
