Find Program
Use Find Program to search for Accreditation Programs already in your database. Program information is stored in the database by the fields completed in the Add - Program process. When using the Find - Accreditation form, you search for a desired Accreditation Program using information stored in the database via these fields. Search results viewed on the List – Accreditation 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 Programs are available to you on the Find – Accreditation page.
Find
- To search for Accreditation Programs already in your association's database, go to . The Find - Accreditation 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 - Accreditation 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 Accreditation Description beginning with "F" returns more results than a search for an 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 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.
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.
