Find Certification Program

Modules>Certification>Program Mgmt>Find Certification Program

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

Find

  1. To search for Certification Programs already in your association's database, go to Modules>Certification>Program Mgmt>Find Certification Program. The Find - Certification Program 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 - Certification Programs 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 a Program Description beginning with "F" returns more results than a search for a Program Description beginning with "Full". And a search for all records with a program code starting with a "T" will produce more results than a search of program codes starting with a "T" with a specific program 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 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 description field.
