Find Application

Modules>Accreditation>Accreditation>Find Application

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

To search for accreditation applications in your association's database:

  1. To search for Accreditation Areas already in your association's database, go to Modules>Accreditation>Accreditation>Find Application. The Find - Accreditation Area 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 - Accreditation Area 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 an Organization Name or Accreditation Description beginning with "F" returns more results than a search for an Organization Name or Accreditation Description beginning with "Full." And a search for all records with an Accreditation Code starting with a "T" will produce more results than a search of Accreditation Codes starting with a "T" with a specific Organization Name or Accreditation Description.

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.

Tip: If you are not sure what you are looking for, use the NetForum wild card character, the percent sign (%), to help you with your search. This is especially helpful when used in conjunction with the contains option on the description field.
