Standard Search provides you with a set of
properties called attributes. By entering data in the attribute fields,
you can define your search results to only include those companies that
match the attribute criteria that you have entered. In addition,
you have the ability to utilize wildcards, queries, and available values.
Available values are characteristics that have already been defined as being
available for specific attributes. For example, if you are searching
for a particular company, then a certain naming convention may be attributed
to that particular company. When entering the name of the company in the appropriate field, and then selecting
the available values option on the Company ID or Description, you will only
retrieve a list of items that are valid for that particular search.
Having this capability will assist you in customizing your searches to
retrieve only that information that is logical for your end result.
You can set values for the attributes on the Standard Search
tab in one of three ways:
-
Enter the values directly
-
Select the Valid
Values/Query Builder button.
-
Use Query Builder
to create a custom filter to use for the search process.
-
Use Available Values
to select a predefined value for an attribute.
