Search customizations
You can work with your Axon representative to customize various search-related features. Available customizations include:
In addition to explaining the customizations for the various search features, this guide includes all default configurations for each search category page. Use the links below to jump directly to the default configuration for that page.
Filter fields and search result exports
Each search category page in the Search module, along with the Agency Court Papers inbox in the Warrants module, comes with a standard list of filter fields. Filter field types include:
- Checkbox: Select one or more of the available checkbox options.
- Dropdown: Select one or more of the available options from the list. Contact your Axon representative if additional options need to be added to this list.
- Free text: Any characters can be entered in this filter field. Use wildcard operators in addition to search terms to broaden or narrow the search. If you enter multiple terms in the same filter field, you will see search results that match either phrase.
- Range: Use the preset options to quickly enter a date range (today, yesterday, last 7 days, etc.). To enter a custom date range, enter the start of the numeric / date range in the Exact/From filter field and the end of the numeric / date range in the To filter field. To search for a specific date, enter a single number in the Exact/From filter field.
- Search: As you enter text, matching results appear that you can select and apply.
You can work with your Axon representative to customize these filter fields to:
- Change filter field names
- Change filter field order
- Remove filter fields
- Add new filter fields
- New filter fields can search for fields in out of the box reports (such as incident or general offense reports), or custom reports you have created for your agency.
- Change present ranges for date filter fields (today, yesterday, last 7 days, etc.)
In addition to customizing the filter field list, you can adjust which columns appear in the search result export file. Like filter fields, the changes you can make include:
- Change column names
- Change column order
- Remove columns
- Add new columns
- When exporting options from dropdown fields, display either the shortcode or description (e.g., for Role, display VIC or VICTIM)
The filter fields that appear in other modules, such as Case Management, Tasks, or Early Intervention System cannot be customized.
Search results
Each search page displays a default set of fields on the search result previews. You can work with your Axon representative to customize which fields appear on search results. The default fields cannot be removed, but additional fields can be added.
For example, in the image below, the Phone Number field has been added to person search results.
Default configurations
The following sections list the default filters, search result exports, and search result previews for the various search pages.

1 The Date Event Created filter field searches for the date that the original report associated with the event was created. An event can contain additional reports that have different creation dates.
2 The Date of Event filter fieldsearches for the date that was entered into the event's original report as the date on which the event took place.
3 The Date Report Created filter field searches for the date that the report was created. If the report was the original report that created a new event, this date will be the same as the Date Event Created date.
4 In the Address filter field, surround the text in double quotations to return search results that include ALL words searched.
- Example: Entering 123 N Test Blvd WAY E Fresno CA 93721 here would return results that include Fresno 93721, Fresno CA 93721, 123 N Test Blvd, N Blvd WAY E, etc.

Officers search default configuration
Unlike the other search pages, Officers search is not customizable. This page only has the main search box and no filter fields. Search result previews include the Last name, First name, and Badge ID of the officer.
Citizens search default configuration
The following filter fields, search result exports, and search result previews are the default for Citizens search.
Although People search in Axon Records and Citizens search in Axon Standards look similar, the databases are separate.
