As an integrated information technology system, Mobius has and is connected to, a large amount of data. There are several different ways to search for information.  Which search will work best for a user depends on what they are searching for and where they would like to search. The search could look in Mobius only, Mobius and the Master Data Hub (MDH)  or MDH only. This section deals with the various ways of searching for an individual and the information associated with them. For searching employers and product providers please see their respective sections.

Person Search

The Person Search function returns individuals who have been registered in Mobius and Prospects. The registered persons display at the top of the list and Prospects are appended to the bottom of the list. For external users, a maximum of fifteen registered individuals plus prospects will display. For internal users, a maximum of one hundred registered individuals plus prospects will display.

For the registered individuals Mobius sends the search criteria to the Master Data Hub (MDH), indicating that only Persons registered in Mobius are to be returned. MDH retrieves Person records that satisfy the specified criteria and returns these to Mobius with a match score (indicates how closely the result matches the full set of specified criteria). Mobius presents the Registered Person records in order of the match score (from highest to lowest). 

For Prospects, Mobius searches within itself, for all Prospect Persons that match the specified criteria. Prospects are not in MDH.

Records listed with a duplicate symbol (a green circle with two figures inside) beside the name, indicate a duplicate record. If selected, the user will be brought to the keeper record.

Search and Register

The purpose of searching for an individual before registration is to determine if the individual is already registered in Mobius, the Central Client Directory (CCD) or the Enterprise Database (EDB). The Master Data Hub contains the individuals from these three systems and updates in real-time when an individual is added to one of the systems. The Search step of the Search and Register function looks for individuals in the Master Data Hub (MDH). For external users, a maximum of fifteen individuals will display. For internal users, a maximum of one hundred individuals will display.
