To perform an alphanumeric search for an object profile, you need to specify identifying information for the object on the Alphanumeric Search page. This type of search might result in several matching profiles.
Make your search as specific as possible. This type of search does allow wildcard characters; use a percent sign (%) to indicate unknown characters. Any required fields are marked with an asterisk (*). If at least one field in group of fields is required, the fields in that group are marked with a dagger (†). In addition, range searching is supported for any field type that has two fields, one with “From” appended to the name and one with “To” appended to the name (for example, “DOB From” and “DOB To”). If your MIDM is set up for range searching, see the system administrator for more information about how it is configured.
On the Record Details page, select Advanced app_name Lookup (Alpha) from the Search Type drop-down list (where app_name is the name of the master index application).
Enter the search criteria for the object you want to find.
Click Search to initiate the search.
The search results list appears with a list of matching profiles. If only one matching profile is returned, the Record Details page appears in view mode.
The system administrator can choose whether to display certain transaction–based fields on this page, such as the EUID field, the local ID and system fields, or the create date field. Any values entered into these optional fields take precedence over information entered into other search fields. For example, if an invalid EUID is entered but valid first and last names are entered, no results are returned due to the invalid EUID. The EUID field takes precedence over the local ID and system fields.
