Search the Vault

Learn how to use the Search PASSPort Vault function.

There are two ways to search the Vault:

Keyword Search: Enter a specific word or phrase to find what you’re looking for, then apply filters to narrow down the results. This option is great for when you remember the full or partial name of a document.

Filter Without a Keyword: Use filters without entering a search term. This option is useful when you don’t know or can’t remember the name of a document. It is also useful for finding documents shared with your organization.

Keyword Search

Click into the Search PASSPort Vault search field.

Note: This field is a type-ahead search field. In this example, “com” was entered, and the search results display documents containing the term “com”.

Click the Enter key on your keyboard or click on the magnifying glass icon to the left in the Search PASSPort Vault field.

The search results will display.

Best Practices: Search the Vault

Enter just part of the name. To find an InsuranceCertificate_2024.pdf, for example, search for “Insurance” which is a less common word than “Certificate”.

Check Recently Accessed files.

Use the Favorite option to quickly locate frequently accessed files.

If too many results appear, refine your search terms to narrow down the results.
