Find Certificant
Use Find Certificant to search for Certificants already in your database. Certificant information is stored in the database by the fields completed in the Add - Certificant process. When using the Find - Certificant page, you search for a desired Certificant using information stored in the database via these fields. Search results viewed on the List – Certificant 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 Certificants are available to you on the Find – Certificant page.
Find
- To search for Certification Programs already in your association's database, go to Modules>Certification > Certificant > Find Certificant. The Find - Certificant 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 - Certification Programs 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 a Sort Name beginning with "F" returns more results than a search for a Sort Name beginning with "Full." And a search for all records with a certain Status will produce more results than a search of Sort Names starting with a "T" with a specific Status.
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.
