Search Tool Icons
The panel on the top of the search grid contains a row of icons with tools that can be used to apply an action directly to the selected item in the search table or to the search results in general.
Search Tool Icons
The available icons vary depending on the object selected. In VertiGIS FM Buildings, for example, you can create a new real estate when you select Real Estate in the Objects section and then click the Add (
) icon. When you select a building, floor, or room, the Add () icon is not available; those assets must be added on the details page for the appropriate type of asset. For example, buildings must be added to a real estate on the real estate details page.
