Multiple Find Requests

  • Dark
    Light

Article summary

While creating a single find reques each record found will meet all the criteria entered.

For example, if you put "Inside" in the Program field, and "2" in the Term field, each record found will meet both criteria:
Inside program AND a 2nd Term apprentice.

What if instead of a logical and, you'd like to utilize a logical or?

For example, you want to find records that are either an Inside Apprentice, OR a second term apprentice.

You can do this by using Multiple Find Requests.

This is especially helpful when wanting to find records that meet two different sets of criteria in the same field.

How to utilize Multiple Find Requests

  1. Go to Find Mode and put in your first set of criteria, for example, "Inside" in the program.

  2. Click New Request in the toolbar to create a new request.

    Note that in your slider it shows you now have two find requests.
    The new request will now be blank again for you to enter in a second set of criteria.

  3. Enter in your second set of criteria. For example, "2" in the term field.

  4. Click Perform Find

Result

You will find that your search results will contain some records that meet the criteria from the first request, and some records that meet the criteria from the second request.

Example

To do a find for Apprentices in either the Inside or Residential program:

  1. Go into Find Mode.
  2. Type "Inside" in the program field.
  3. Click New Find Request.
  4. Type "Residential" in the Program field.
  5. Click Perform Find

Results will be apprentices in either program.
