Search records in a table view

Use Search in records when you want to find records that contain specific values in the current table view.

1. Click Search in records.
2. Type a part of the value you are looking for.
3. Ninox shows matching records in the grid.

This is useful for quick lookups without setting up a full filter.

Bundle results of multiple searches

You can collect results across multiple search runs in one view. This is useful when you want to, for example, bookmark or delete several selected records at once.

Only users whose role allows deleting records in this table can see the checkbox column in table view.

1. Start your first search.
2. In the first column of the table, select the checkbox for each record you want to keep selected.
3. Clear the current search by clicking the in the search field and start your next search. This keeps the selected records highlighted.

To select or deselect all records, use the checkbox in the column header or use Clear selection in the top bar. Selecting all visible records with the checkbox in the column header ends the current search cycle. If you start a new search afterwards, Ninox clears the current selection.
