Search and filters

The Search and Find Search and Filter list Filter functions in RigGuide help users quickly find the right procedure from the library. These tools are especially useful when working with a large number of procedures across different rigs, locations, or operations. Using them correctly saves time and ensures you always work with the correct document.

Examples

  • A drilling engineer looking for “Slip and cut operation” can type it directly in the search box.

  • A rig manager can filter by Country = Norway and Rig = Ocean Explorer to find procedures relevant to that unit.

  • In Link procedures mode, the same filters will only return approved procedures available for linking.

Tips and tricks

  • Use Filter list Smart Filters when you know details like rig, country, or operation type.

  • Use the Search and Find general search box when you only know part of the procedure title.

  • Combine both search and filter for best results.

  • Remember: in Link-1.png Link Procedures mode, only approved procedures will appear.
