Find Event Speaker

Modules> Events > Speakers > Find Speakers

Use Find Speaker to search for Event Speakers already in your database. Speaker information is stored in the database by the fields completed in the Add - Speaker process. When using the Find – Events Faculty (Speaker) form, you search for a Speaker using information stored in the database via these fields. Search results viewed on the List – Events Faculty (Speaker) 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 Speakers is available to you on the Find – Events Faculty (Speaker) page.

Find Speaker

  1. To search for Speakers already in your association's database, go to Modules> Events > Speakers > Find Speakers. The Find – Events Faculty (Speaker) 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 – Events Faculty (Speaker) 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 Sort Name beginning with "F" will return more results than searching for a Sort Name beginning with "Full". Searching for all records with a Session Name starting with a "T" will produce more results than searching for Session Name starting with a "T" with a specific Event Type.

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 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 Sort Name or Session Name field.
