Advanced Filters and Saved Searches

Mapify search has no advanced filter operators (such as type:, owner:, tag:, or modified:), no saved searches, and no scheduled searches. You can't save a search query, share it, or have it run on a schedule and email the results.

This page shows what you use instead, mainly Saved Maps, so you can still answer recurring questions about your integration landscape.

Understanding Your Filtering Options

graph LR roQuestion["fa:fa-circle-question A question about
your landscape"] roSearch["fa:fa-magnifying-glass Mapify search box
Find one entity by name"] roMap["fa:fa-bookmark Saved Map
Filter builder with
AND/OR groups"] roList["fa:fa-filter Repository lists
Custom Metadata filter"] roQuestion -->|"Where is X?"| roSearch roQuestion -->|"Show me this part
of the graph again"| roMap roQuestion -->|"Which items have
this metadata value?"| roList style roQuestion fill:#2678BD,stroke:#2678BD,color:#fff style roSearch fill:#93d16d,stroke:#3F827B style roMap fill:#93d16d,stroke:#3F827B style roList fill:#93d16d,stroke:#3F827B

Pick the tool by the question (blue): the search box finds an entity, a Saved Map reruns a filtered graph, and the Repository lists filter on Custom Metadata (green).

Need Use Where it's described
Find one entity by name The Mapify search box, with autocomplete Search and Discovery
Rerun the same filtered graph later A Saved Map: its filter builder combines conditions in nested AND/OR groups, and the map keeps the filters, scope, and depth Saved Views
List items by a Custom Metadata value, such as every GDPR integration The Custom Metadata filter on the Repository lists Portfolio Filtering

Search UI Elements

The search box and its autocomplete list are the search UI; see Search and Discovery for how autocomplete ranks suggestions.

<div class="mapify-search-container">
  <label for="global-search" class="visually-hidden">Search integrations, systems, services, and resources</label>
  <div class="search-input-wrapper">
    <i class="fas fa-magnifying-glass" aria-hidden="true"></i>
    <input
      type="search"
      id="global-search"
      name="globalSearch"
      placeholder="Search integrations, systems, services..."
      aria-autocomplete="list"
      aria-controls="search-results"
      aria-expanded="false"
      autocomplete="off"
    >
