Summary

Many parts of Databuild use a common search routine

 

Details

 

B4 Search

 

Actual details of this screen vary with the parent screen that it was called from, but the logic stays the same

 

A series of condition rows is displayed. A drop-down above the grid specifies whether ALL or ANY of the included conditions are to be met.

 

Each row of the grid displays

 

Include                If ticked, this row is to be included in the search
Field                A drop-down list displays all the fields that are appropriate for this search routine
Condition                A drop-down list displays all conditions appropriate for this field
Value1                Displays your required value. Greyed out if not  appropriate for this condition
Value2                Displays your required value. Greyed out if not  appropriate for this condition

 

Below the grid, a sorting field can be selected, and the SQL select statement is displayed. Experienced users can modify this text box for more complicated searches.
