Find Icon    Find is a thin client application used to locate people or view locations.  
The Find application is interactive, it does not view all transactions sent out from the Event Processor.  It only connects to the Event Processor to request the location of a Person/Asset or to determine what People/Assets are at a specified location.  Find does not directly access the EPS database.  Find can be used to set personal alerts which are more limited in scope and complexity than the Alarms Application. This is useful in individuals looking for a specific condition to occur.   The typical Find People screen is shown below.
