Find Award Entry

Use Find Award Entry to search for Entries already in your database. Entry information is stored in the database by the fields completed in the Award Entry Wizard process. When using the Find - Award Entry form, you search for a desired Entry using information stored in the database via these fields. Search results you view on the List-Award 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 Awards are available to you on the Find-Award page.

Finding Records

To search for Award Entries in the database, use the following steps:

  1. Go to Modules>Awards>Entries>Find Award Entry. The Find - Award Entry 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 - Award Entry 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 Awards beginning with "F" returns more results than a search for Awards beginning with "Full". And a search for all records with a award name starting with a "T" will produce more results than a search of award names starting with a "T" with a specific award type.

Find vs. Query

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.
