Cross Org Search
If you manage more than one organization in K12Panel, you know the drill: search one org, switch orgs, search again, repeat. Cross Org Search puts an end to that. It lets you search across all of your organizations at the same time from a single screen.
Who Has Access
Cross Org Search is only available to users who are an Admin or higher in two or more active organizations. If you only manage one org, the menu item won't appear and that's expected.
Finding It
Look for the globe icon in the left navigation menu. Click it and you're in.
Choosing Which Orgs to Search
When you open Cross Org Search, all of your organizations are selected by default. You'll see a live count in the header showing how many are in scope (like 12 of 15 selected). If you want to narrow it down, just uncheck any orgs you'd like to exclude. K12Panel will remember your selection if you navigate away and come back during the same session.
Running a Search
Cross Org Search supports the same two modes you'll find on the standard Assets screen.
Quick Search works just like you'd expect: type a keyword like a name, serial number, asset tag, model, or manufacturer and press Enter.
AI Search lets you describe what you're looking for in plain English. "Chromebooks with less than 4GB RAM not seen in 30 days" is a perfectly valid query. Check out the AI Search article for more tips and examples.
Reading the Results
The results table includes an Organization column so you always know which org each asset belongs to. You can sort by any column, and if you want to zero in on a single org after your search comes back, use the org filter above the table.
To jump directly to an asset, click its name. K12Panel will automatically switch your active organization to the one that owns that asset and take you straight to the asset detail page. Hit the browser back button or use the nav menu to return to Cross Org Search.
Exporting
After a search returns results, an Export CSV button will appear. Click it to download every matching asset (not just the current page) as a CSV. The export respects whatever search filters and org selection you have active at the time.
A Few Things to Know
Cross Org Search also shares the same AI Search rate limit as the standard Assets screen, so if you hit it, just wait a moment and try again.
