Querying for Records in a Selection Dialog Box

You can query within a selection dialog box just as you would within a list or form. This allows you to search for specific information from one column or from several columns at one time. For information about query operators, see Query Operators.

NOTE:  To execute a query in a selection dialog box, you can either click Go or press ENTER on your keyboard.

To query in a selection dialog box

  1. In the selection dialog box, click Query.

    2. A blank row appears in the selection dialog box.

  2. Enter your query criteria and click Go. (Clicking Cancel returns you to the original list of records in the selection dialog box.)

    3. NOTE:  The Siebel application automatically assumes a wildcard exists at the end of text entered in the starting with field. This means that if you search for Siebe, the Siebel application looks for all words beginning with the letters Siebe.

    The records matching the query you specified appear.

  3. Select the desired record and click OK.

    4. The record is added to the field in which you launched the selection dialog box.
