Searching for Field Names

If the Available Fields list is extensive, you may wish to perform a search to locate the field name or names you are looking for. Proceed as follows:

1. Type an appropriate combination of characters into the Field Name data field. Wildcards are not necessary.
2. Click Search or press the Return key on your keyboard.

Forsta Plus will find and display all the instances of that combination of characters that are to be found in the Available Fields column.

For example if you type Zip into the field and click Search, Forsta Plus will find all fields with the word Zip anywhere in the field name. Note that you do not need to type in complete words. For example, type ll into the field and click Search to find all fields with ll anywhere in the name.

If after typing in the first search criteria the list is still long, you can perform a search through the first set of results by repeating the procedure.

3. Once you have found the required field, click in its check box on it to select it, then click Add.

The selected field is moved from the Available Fields column to the Selected Fields column.

Note: You can select as many fields as you wish.

To remove a field from the Selected Fields list, click in its check box to select it and then click the Remove button. The field is returned to the Available Fields list.

4. On completion, click Save to save the changes.

Note: The Save button flashes while the system contains changes that have not yet been saved.
