Finding a Request

  1. To search for Requests already in your association's database, go to Modules > COI > Requests > Find Request. The Find - Request 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 Find - Request page. If only one result comes of the search, the profile page for that result opens.

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.
