In eQuip you may find that your searches have disappeared, it is most likely that they are not actually gone rather they're associated with a workflow.
Here is how to bring them back--
Navigate to Admin > Manage Application Settings > Asset Search Configuration
Under the name dropdown find the desired search and select it
After selecting your search the data should populate. Locate the export button (its marked by a green up arrow near the top of the screen) Click it, this will upload the search settings to your local machine.
Once downloaded a new search will need to be created.
In the Name drop down choose <select>, this will reset the search configuration display.
In the second box from the left enter the new search name and click create (Note, this name cannot be the same as the original search)
Once your new search is created, the old configuration must be imported.
Locate the browse box on the top row to the right and click it, this will open a pop up window, select the previously downloaded search configuration and click open
After the configuration is selected click the import button ( blue down arrow next to the browse button)
Click the Save Button on the top row
Final step - Please make sure to perform this or your search will not appear.
Click the Activate These Changes button
Enter name of person who made the changes
in the text box below enter the changes made
click Save and CheckIn when finished.
After a moment this pop up should appear
And your new search is ready to use.
