Find Application
Use Find Application to search for Accreditation Applications already in your database. Application information is stored in the database by the fields completed in the Add - Application process. When using the Find - Accreditation Area form, you search for a desired Accreditation Application using information stored in the database via these fields. Search results viewed on the List – Accreditation Area page display in columns, and each column of search results corresponds to a data field. Only a limited, pre-defined set of columns pertaining to Accreditation Areas are available to you on the Find – Accreditation Area page.
To search for accreditation applications in your association's database:
- To search for Accreditation Areas already in your association's database, go to . The Find - Accreditation Area page opens.
- For a more specific search, click the Advanced View check box. Expanded Boolean search options appear for each search criteria field. Use these search options to narrow your search results further.
- Click Go. A list of search results displays in the List - Accreditation Area page. If only one result comes of the search, the profile page for that result opens.
Note: The more specific you make search criteria, the narrower the results returned will be. A search for an Organization Name or Accreditation Description beginning with "F" returns more results than a search for an Organization Name or Accreditation Description beginning with "Full." And a search for all records with an Accreditation Code starting with a "T" will produce more results than a search of Accreditation Codes starting with a "T" with a specific Organization Name or Accreditation Description.
Find vs. Query
Most Finds and Queries in netFORUM are run in CRM. The Find page is setup with a pre-defined set of columns (fields) versus a Query which allows you to select from any column in the search Table.
Tip: If you are not sure what you are looking for, use the netFORUM wild card character, the percent sign (%), to help you with your search. This is especially helpful when used in conjunction with the contains option on the description field.
