Searching For Members

You can perform searches for members to edit.

You can search using a text string or by property (that is, name and description). You can also use a blank space as a separator to perform simultaneous searches. If you enclose a string of characters in quotation marks, the system searches for an exact match, including the blank spaces between the characters.

Note:

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

To search for a member:

  1. Open a report and select a grid.
  2. Double-click a dimension cell.
  3. In the Select Members dialog box, next to Find, click the drop-down to select an option, and then enter the text for which to you want to search.
  4. Click Find button.

Tip:

Use Wildcards is automatically enabled during member selection. When using wildcards, use ? to represent a single character search, and use * for a multiple character search.

If the search criteria has a space in it, enclose the search phrase in double quotes. For example, *IC Offset* should be "*IC Offset*".
