ADBR Searching Tips

Application Design and Behavior Resource (ADBR)

When searching for information in the ADBR, it is important to note how the keywords used to perform a search affect what information is returned.

• Using the preference Use Clinical Desktop Default View When Switching Patients as an example:'

• By entering the first few words of the preference 'exactly' as they read with quotation marks at the beginning and the end, the system returns the following:

• The ADBR returns the ONE Topic where this exact wording is found in the ADBR.

From here, double click on the returned Topic which activates the Search Highlight Feature

• The user can then quickly scroll through multiple screens until the Search Highlight feature displays the exact place in the returned Topic where the entered keywords display. Voila!

• The key to this successful search is the use of the quotation marks and exact wording!

Please note, if I had in error left out the word “Default” from my sentence…the system would have returned the following:'

• As well, if I use the exact wording of the item I am searching for, but omit the quotation marks the system will return the following:

• The system returns every Topic where any one of these words is found. The desired preference would be included in this, but obviously would not be easily found.
