You probably just want to search for a part of the CI Name, not a exact refrence.
Take a look at Custom interactive filters.
I have set up an example for Incident table:
This searches for the CI name, default startswith, or contains, when starting with a *
Create a new Content block like:
Sample code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
<script>
var dbh = new DashboardMessageHandler("incident_ci_name_like");
function doSearch(evt){
if (evt === true || evt.which == 13){
var fltr = $j('#tbxCiSearch').val();
if (fltr.startsWith("*"))
dbh.publishFilter('incident','cmdb_ci.nameLIKE' + fltr.replace("*",""));
else
dbh.publishFilter('incident','cmdb_ci.nameSTARTSWITH' + fltr);
}
}
</script>
<div class="input-group">
<input id="tbxCiSearch" class="form-control"
type="search"
onkeyup="doSearch(event)"
placeholder="CI Name contains" />
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" onclick="doSearch(true)">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>
</button>
</span>
</div>
</j:jelly>
Add it to dashboard via Content Blocks
