In a CI Identifier Entry search, what is the 'Search on Table' referring to?

In a CI Identifier Entry search, 'Search on Table' refers to the specific table that is being queried based on the criteria defined in the 'Applies To' field. This field effectively determines the context of the search, guiding the system on which table to look for Configuration Item (CI) data relevant to the query. The 'Applies To' field informs the search mechanism about the scope of the CI data being requested, allowing for a targeted and efficient search process.

This is essential for ensuring that the search retrieves the most relevant results based on the type of CI being investigated, as there could be various tables associated with different types of CIs. The ability to specify this helps streamline the discovery process and improves accuracy in fetching data.

The other options are less relevant in this context, as they refer to various aspects of data within the system but do not specifically relate to how the search is structured or defined.
