Searching for Members

You can search for members to edit. You can search using a text string or property (that is, name and description). You can use a blank space as a separator to perform simultaneous searches. To search a string for an exact match, including blank spaces, enclose the string in quotation marks.

If you are searching for a list or function, you must activate this function by using the Find Next or Find Previous button.

Note:

For Financial Management, when you search for an entity, you need to search on parent.entity (for example. D62VIELO.D62475LO). When you search just the entity, you need to precede the entity with a wildcard, (for example, *D62475LO).

Use Wildcards

Enter the Find text with wildcard symbols (* and ?) to search for members. By default, Use Wildcards is displayed.

  • Use ? to represent a single character search.

  • Use * to represent a multiple character search.

    Note:

    If the search criteria has a space in it, enclose the search phrase in quotes. For example, *IC Offset* should be "*IC Offset*". If the location of the "*" wildcard is at the end only, for example IC Offset*, then you do not need to enclose the phrase in quotes.
