Learn how to: - Search for network objects using **Quick search** and **Advanced search** - Browse network and manage objects in **Table view** - Select and review network objects using the **Info tool** ## KeyCom Nexus search bar (Quick search) The **KeyCom Nexus search bar** is located at the top of the map view. It provides a quick way to search for network objects in the system: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787831631796.png) 1. Enter the object's identification number and press the search button or choose the correct object from the suggested results. The search can also be filtered by choosing a **filter group** below the search bar. If no object ID is entered, the search returns **recently viewed** objects from the selected **filter group**. 2. The network objects that match the search are then presented in **suggested** search results. 3. To perform a more advanced search, click **Advanced search**. The results are displayed in table view, where you can refine your search using additional filters and criteria. ### Advanced search **Advanced search** opens the selected search results in **Table view**, where they can be searched, filtered, sorted, and managed using the available functions. If no search criteria have been specified, all objects matching the selected filter group are displayed. [Additional filters](/kb/docs/browsing-searching-and-filtering-network-information-1#using-filters) can then be applied directly in **Table view**. Read more in [Working with the search results in Table view](/kb/docs/browsing-searching-and-filtering-network-information-1#working-with-search-results-in-table-view). ## Browse network You can find the **Browse n****etwork**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1783322766949.png)****feature at the top of the map view, next to search bar. It allows you to search, filter, and browse network objects in **Table view**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787838103765.png) 1. To start browsing, select a desired object type from the list. You can also select **All visible items** on the map to display all items currently visible on the map, or **All modified today** to display all items that have been modified within the last 24 hours:![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787838154282.png) 2. All available objects are then presented in a table view:![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787838420842.png) ## Picking object information from the map Network objects can be examined directly on the map using the **Info tool**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787575198589.png)and other picking tools. You can review their properties or transfer the results to **Table view** for further analysis. ### Info tool You can use the **Info tool![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787575198589.png)**to view information network objects. Click **Info tool**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787575198589.png)and then use the left mouse button to define an area where objects are selected. You can only select objects that are visible on the map; in other words, only the activated object layers are available during the selection. You can retrieve information on more than one object at the same time. There are several possible ways to retrieve information on multiple objects. The **Select objects on current map view![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787575169889.png)**function works similarly to the **Info tool**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787575198589.png), but automatically retrieves information for all objects currently visible in the map view. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787574695803.png) A query opens a map explorer in which the search results are listed. Click **Show in table** to show results in [Table view](/kb/docs/navigating-the-keycom-interface-1#table-view) where the search results are grouped according to their object type, such as telecom premises and manholes. Tip:To view the object’s information quickly without activating the **Info tool**, you can click or hover your mouse on an object on the map. The application then displays a separate list where the object's type and identification is displayed. If there are multiple objects in the area you double-clicked, they are listed and you can choose the object you want to view. #### Info tool options From the drop-down menu next to the **Info tool**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787575198589.png), you can select one of the following five functions to pick objects from the map: - **Rectangle![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787575198589.png):** After clicking the **Info tool**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787575198589.png)button you can define a rectangular area by selecting the area you want by holding down the left mouse button. - **Polygon![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787575334439.png)**: You can use the **Polygon** function to define a polygon area on the map and pick all objects. - **Freehand![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787575306102.png)**: Define a free area by hand and pick all objects inside of it. - **Area![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787575285806.png)**: You can use the **Area** function to select an area that has been saved in the system using the **Area** pane, and to retrieve the objects in that area. #### Info tool filtering You can filter your search to specific objects by using object layer selection. For example, in the **Layers** tool, select only the **Telecom network** layer to limit your search to the telecom network. If the map explorer is pinned to the sidebar, object filtering options become available through the **Filter selected objects button**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787661149720.png).![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787661102772.png) ### Pin map explorer The **Pin map explorer**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787639878773.png)tool allows you to keep the **Selected objects** window visible while working with the map. By default, the map explorer appears as a temporary pop-up panel when objects are picked from the map. When **Pin map explorer**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787639878773.png)is enabled from the **Map tools**, the **Selected objects** list is docked to the side bar under the **Selected objects**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787640269079.png)tool, making it easier to browse while continuing to navigate the map. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787830859355.png) Also, object filtering options become available through the **Filter selected objects**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787661149720.png)button. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787831199688.png)
