Supp search

There are four ways to search for supps:

• Simple — where you enter criteria into frequently-used search fields
• Full — where you can select from every available field and choose your own comparison operators
• Recent — where you can re-run recently-used searches
• Favourite — where you can store named search favourites that you expect to be useful into the future

Simple search

Simple search exposes the following collection of search fields.

• one or more property IDs (you can paste these from a spreadsheet if you want);
• one or more workflow IDs;
• a district;
• a zone;
• a component (disabled until you select a district);
• a contract region;
• a house humber;
• a street name;
• a suburb;
• a lot number;
• a plan number;
• owners;
• a valuer;
• a supp code;
• a transmit state;
• a supp stage.

The Make full button transfers your existing simple search criteria over to the Full search tab.

The Search button displays the search results in the current tab, navigating away from the search criteria page.

The Search button displays search results in the current tab, retaining the search criteria.

The Search button displays search results in a separate browser tab.

The Clear button removes all criteria from the Simple search tab.

info

In all fields, useful default operators have been selected.

• Property ID(s) field matches to ONE OF the provided PIDs.
• Text fields use the CONTAINS operator.
• All conditions must be met in order to retrieve result rows.

Search example

If you enter a district and a street name, the system will find properties in that district AND with that street name.

The Property ID(s) field takes a list of Property ID(s), one on each line. You can get these by pasting in from a spreadsheet or copying PIDs from previous search results.

The Workflow ID(s) field works similarly.

Full search

Full search provides you with the ability to make much more complex search criteria. You can search for almost anything that can be traced back to the supp.

To use Full search:

1. Select a field.
2. Select a comparator.
3. Enter the search criterion value (if necessary).
4. Press either the Search , Search , or the Search button to run the search.

info

If you have added a search criterion you no longer want, click the Remove button to remove that criterion.

To use a natural language search:

1. Click the Use natural language button.
2. In the popup, type your query in plain text.
3. In the background, the system will send your query to an AI for conversion into search criteria.
4. When it's complete, it will replace your existing search criteria with what it's come up with.
5. Click Done when you're finished with the popup.
6. Check the search criteria to ensure that it's what you meant.
7. Press either the Search , Search , or the Search button to run the search.

info

If a search criterion you don't want has been added, click the Remove button to remove that criterion.

info

On recent versions of Windows, you can press Windows logo key + H to open a recorder that will translate speech into text. So when you open the popup, you can press Windows+H, start speaking, and have your words converted to text in the entry field.

warning

Your typed (or spoken) criteria will be sent to a large language model (LLM, gpt-4o-mini) for conversion into a format MVOW understands. Your text will be processed by, but not retained by, the LLM.

warning

Always check the results of this conversion. Accuracy is not guaranteed.

Fields

The fields that you can search come from multiple categories:

• Supp
• Contract region
• Supp description
• Property notes
• Property tags
• Future values
• LT values
• LG values
• Workflow
• Data transfer
• Worksheets

Comparators

And here’s how the comparison operators work.

Comparator	Description
EQUALS	The value associated with the property must be an exact match with what’s specified in the search criterion.
NOT SET	The value associated with the property must not be set. There is a difference between an empty value or zero and a value that is not set.
CONTAINS	The value associated with the property must contain the string of characters specified in the search criterion.
ONE OF	The value associated with the property must be one of the items specified in this list. You can separate the list of values with line breaks, white space (spaces, tabs) and/or commas. This is a bit problematic when it comes to values that contain commas and/or spaces (like legal descriptions).
NOT ONE OF	The value associated with the property must not be ANY of the values in the list.
STARTS WITH	The value associated with the property must start with the string of characters you specify.
ENDS WITH	The value associated with the property must end with the string of characters you specify.
BETWEEN	The value associated with the property must lie between the values you specify. Note that this can apply to dates or numbers, and is an inclusive range. That is, if you’re for LT land values between 100,000 and 200,000, properties with LT land values of 100,000 will be included in the search results.
NOT BETWEEN	The value associated with the property not must the values you specify. It must be less than the lower value OR greater than the upper value.
ON OR BEFORE	Applying specifically to dates, the value associated with the property must lie on or before the date you specify.
ON OR AFTER	Applying specifically to dates, the value associated with the property must lie on or after the date you specify.
YES	Applying specifically to flags, the flag associated with the property must be set to YES, normally by a box being ticked.
NO	Applying specifically to flags, the flag associated with the property must be set to NO, normally by a box being unticked.
YES OR NO	Applying specifically to flags, the flag associated with the property must be set. It can be either YES or NO, but it must be set.
LESS THAN	Applying specifically to numbers, the flag associated with the property must be less than the value you specify.
GREATER THAN	Applying specifically to numbers, the flag associated with the property must be greater than the value you specify.
