Device search filters
Search filters help you limit search results to the devices that you want to see. Axon Evidence includes in search results only the devices that match ALL the search filters that you set.
Basic filters
- Serial Number: Limits search results to devices whose assigned serial number includes the characters entered in this field. This filter supports partial matches. For example, if you entered X81, the search results would include devices with the serial numbers X81162367 and X81233704.
- Device Name: Limits search results to devices whose name includes the characters entered in the Device Name field. By default, device names are the same as the device serial number; however, agencies can assign custom device names to some devices, such as body-worn cameras and CEWs. This filter supports partial matches.
- Assigned To: Limits the search to devices that were most currently assigned to the specified user. Users can enter their name to see devices assigned to them.
- Upload Date Start: Limits search results to devices that uploaded to Evidence.com between the set dates. You can specify a date and time range by using the Start and End fields; otherwise, the search is not limited by date range. Search results are inclusive of the dates specified.
- Start: The start of the date and time range. If the Start field is empty, the date range begins with the earliest possible date.
- End: The end of the date and time range. If the End field is empty, the date range ends with today.
- Device Home: Limits the search to devices that are assigned to a specified Device Home or None.
Note
The Device Home attribute is only shown on the Inventory search page if your agency has at least one Device Home.
