Find Payments

Use Find Payments to search for Payments already in your database. Payment information is stored in the database by the fields completed in the Add Payments process. When using the Find – Payment form, you search for a desired Payment using information stored in the database via these fields. Search results viewed on the List – Payment 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 Payments is available to you on the Find – Payment page.

Find Fundraising Payments

  1. To search for Payments already in your association's database, go to Modules>Fundraising>Payments>Find Payments. The Find - Payment page opens.
  2. 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.
  3. Click Go. A list of search results displays in the List - Payment 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 a netFORUM Name (Calculated) beginning with "F" will return more results than searching for names beginning with "Full." Searching for all records with a netFORUM Name (Calculated) starting with a "T" will produce more results than searching for names starting with a "T" with a specific Transaction Date.

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 netFORUM Name (Calculated) field.
