Searching Question

Hi Grace,

 

I, too, am SQL-challenged, but our specialist in applications and web systems is a whiz at it.  I’m attaching a screen dump of what he did for me in the List Designer part of TMS.  Programs→TMS→List Designer.  It also has the current location as well as credit line.  He modified the Objects Original view, but for some reason, he had to give it a new Database View (hence the vListViewKyle)  (His name is Kyle).

 

Hope this helps.

Hi Jeri,

 

Thanks for the suggestions—I am SQL-challenged and would like to learn more about how to use it, including how to phrase searches.  In the meantime, I had actually thought of using the list view, but I can’t find Credit Line as an option in the List View Designer.  Is there a way to add it? 

Thanks again!

Hi Grace,

 

I don't think you can successfully use Advanced Query to ask for records that have only a specific word and nothing else in Credit Line. You'd need a 'match whole field' search. You could do this in SQL, or I'd search TMS for Credit Line = Purchase* and then sort by Credit Line in the List View to grab the appropriate set into an object package.

 

Best,

Jeri

Hello again,

Thank you to all who replied to my question about images in PDF.  I was able to use the print-to-file function and the thumbnails now look much better.

I was wondering if anyone has had luck in Advanced Query with searching for records that do not contain a particular word or words.  I have tried using the “not equal to” criteria but have not had any luck. 

I am trying to find object records that have the credit line “Purchase.” and I wanted to exclude records that had any additional words in that field (ie. Collection Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts.  Purchase.”

Thank you for any suggestions you may have!
