Advanced Filters and Saved Searches
Mapify search has no advanced filter operators (such as type:, owner:, tag:, or modified:), no saved searches, and no scheduled searches. You can't save a search query, share it, or have it run on a schedule and email the results.
This page shows what you use instead, mainly Saved Maps, so you can still answer recurring questions about your integration landscape. New 7.12 A Saved Map's filter now also filters on Tags and Custom Metadata.

Pick the tool by the question (blue): Find Item finds a node in the graph, a Saved Map reruns a filtered graph, also on Tags and Custom Metadata, and the Repository lists filter items into a list (green).
| Need | Use | Where it's described |
|---|---|---|
| Find one node by name | Find Item above the graph: it finds the node and zooms to it | Search and Discovery |
| Rerun the same filtered graph later | A Saved Map: its filter builder combines conditions in nested AND/OR groups, and the map keeps the filters, scope, and depth | Saved Views |
| See how the items with a Tag or a Custom Metadata value connect, such as every System with SLA level Gold | New 7.12 A Saved Map that filters on Tags or a Custom Metadata field, built on the Designer tab | Saved Views - Filter on Tags and Custom Metadata |
| List items by a Custom Metadata value, such as every GDPR integration | The Custom Metadata filter on the Repository lists, next to Filter on Tag | Portfolio Filtering |

Find Item
The search control above a Mapify graph is Find Item. Type part of a name, pick the node from the list, and Mapify zooms to it. It doesn't filter the graph: use a Saved Map for that. See Search and Discovery.
