Search Indices

Add custom search types so users can search records by any field, such as phone number.

What are Search Indices?

Search indices are custom search types that let users search records by any field, such as phone number. They show up as extra tabs in Record Search, and as search fill options in templates.

Your CAD starts with a Phone Number search on civilians. You can have up to 5 search types.
