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