Browser Search

The Browser Search feature makes it possible to search through multiple WorkPoint business modules at once in WorkPoint Express. This way of searching is quicker and more efficient than using the "All" setting for business module when performing standard search in WorkPoint Express. It does, however, introduce a certain delay in the searchability of newly created entities, as they will need to be indexed before becoming available for this search feature. This delay, however, typically takes only a few minutes.

Please be aware that this feature works only using WorkPoint Express with WorkPoint 365. WorkPoint Server is currently not supported.

There are currently no requirements associated with the use of this feature.
