Find Classified Ad Type
Use Find Classified Ad Type to search for Classified Ad Types already in your database. Classified Ad Type information is stored in the database by the fields completed in the Add - Classified Ad Type process. When using the Find-Classified Ad Type page, you search for a desired Classified Ad Type using information stored in the database via these fields. Search results viewed on the List-Classified Ad Types 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 Classified Ad Types are available to you on the Find-Classified Ad Type page.
Find
- To search for Classified Ad Types already in your association's database, go to Modules>Advertising>Classified Ad Type >Find Classified Ad Type. The Find - Classified Ad Type page opens.
- For a more specific search, click the Advanced View check box. Expanded Boolean search options appear for the search criteria fields. Use these search options to narrow your search results further.
- Click Go. A list of search results displays in the List - Classified Ad Type page. If only one result comes of the search, the profile page for that result opens.
Note: The more specific you make your search criteria, the narrower the results returned are. A search for a Product Name beginning with "F" returns more results than a search for a Product Name beginning with "Full." And a search for all records with an add user starting with a "T" will produce more results than a search of an add user starting with a "T" with a specific Product Name.
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.
If you are not sure what you are looking for, use the netFORUM wildcard character, the percent sign (%), to help you with your search. This is especially helpful when used in conjunction with the contains option on either field.
