The Basic Search view provides the user with the most commonly used search fields to enter criteria to search for leases in the database. Where possible, fields will be pre-filled with relevant information from the job card and a default search run when the search view loads.

The search field available are:

1. Suburb - Provides a field to enter one or more suburbs and will be pre-filled with the suburb value from the job. You can enter multiple suburbs separated by commas. The ellipsis button [ ... ] can be used to bring up a selectable list of all the suburbs within the selected state.
2. State - Provides a select list of state abbreviations to select from and will be pre-filled with the state value from the job.
3. Post Code - Provides a field to enter a post code and will be pre-filled with the post code value from the job. A [ > ] button is available next to the post code field which will remove the post code value when clicked.
4. Street - Provides a field to enter one or more street names. You can enter multiple streets separated by commas. The ellipsis button [ ... ] can be used to bring up a selectable list of all the streets within the suburbs entered into the suburb field. This allows a user to perform a more specific search for a lease on a particular street.
5. Country - Provides a select list of countries to select from and will be pre-filled with the country value from the job. This field will only be visible if the Show Country setting is turned on.
6. Rental - Provides fields to enter a minimum and maximum rental value range and a select list of percentage values to adjust the rental sensitivity. If the job contains a value in either the Purchase Price field or Customer's EMV field, the higher value will be used with the selected rental sensitivity to pre-fill the minimum and maximum fields. If the rental sensitivity select list is changed, the minimum and maximum field values will change and re-trigger the search.
7. Lettable Area - Provides fields to enter a minimum and maximum lettable area value range in m2 and a select list of percentage values to adjust the site area sensitivity. If the job contains a value in the Lettable Area field, this value will be used with the selected lettable area sensitivity value to pre-fill the minimum and maximum fields. If the lettable area sensitivity select list is changed, the minimum and maximum field values will change and re-trigger the search.
8. Proximity to Subject - Provides a select list of distance values. All jobs entered into ValuePRO are updated with a geo location (latitude and longitude coordinates) of the property. This then allows ValuePRO to perform proximity searches to locate lease properties based on their location. Selecting a value from the select list will re-trigger the search for properties that are located within the distance selected in the proximity selected. If the job does not have a suitable geo location, the select list will not be available and the user will instead see the text Subject Property not accurately located. Users can attempt to force the job to geo code by going to the job card, opening the Address composite field and press the Save button to re-trigger the geo location feature.
9. Data Entry Template - Provides a select list of all the data entry template values for leases to filter by.
10. Date Range - Provides a select list of date range options, however the last option in the list, Custom Date Range, provides the user with two additional date fields to enter a minimum and maximum date range for the search.
11. Sort Order - Provides a select list of all the fields that are available on the search page to sort by and a select list of the sort by order available.
12. Data Source - Provides a select list of all the sales data sources that are available. The data sources are used to indicate where the sales information was sourced from, whether it was manually entered into the system by a user or imported from another source. The default option is set to All Sources of Data to show all sales, regardless of their source.
13. Property Type - Provides a select list of all the property type values to filter by.
14. Match Options - Provides a select list of search accuracy option values. The default option is set to Exact Matches (fast) and this performs a quick search for sales with the search criteria exactly as it is entered. The second option is Close Matches (Slow) and is used to perform a more detailed search for sales with the search criteria entered, focusing more on returning results that either exactly match the search criteria or are similar to the search criteria. For example, if the Close Match (Slow) option was selected and the user entered a Suburb value of Spring Hill, the search would also return any suburbs that contained the word Spring or Hill.
15. Show As - Provides a select list of all the display options available. The display options available are: List, Excel, Map, Photos and Floor Plans.
