Find Match Program

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

Find Match Program

  1. To search for Match Programs already in your association's database, go to Modules>Fundraising>Match Programs>Find Match Program. The Find - Match 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 - Match Program 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 your results will be. Searching for a Code beginning with "F" will return more results than searching for a Code beginning with "Full." Searching for all records with a Code starting with a "T" will produce more results than searching for Codes starting with a "T" with a specific End Date.

Find vs. Query

Most Finds and Queries in NetForum are run in CRM. The Find page is set up 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 theNetForum 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 Code field.
