Find Assignment
Use Find Assignment to search for Assignments already in your database. Assignment information is stored in the database by the fields completed in the Add - Assignment process. When using the Find – Assignment form, you search for a desired Assignment using information stored in the database via these fields. Search results viewed on the List – Assignment 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 Assignments is available to you on the Find – Assignment page.
To search for assignments in the database, use the following steps:
- Go to . The Find - Assignment 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 - Assignment 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 your results will be. Searching for an Honoree beginning with "F" will return more results than searching for a Last Name beginning with "Full." Searching for all records with an Organization Name starting with a "T" will produce more results than searching for Honorees starting with a "T" with a specific Assignment Description.
Find vs. Query
Most Finds and Queries in netFORUM are run in CRM. The Find page is set up 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 the Honoree field.
