External Email - Exercise Caution

Hi Anna –

For unique searches like this where there are limits to the Advanced Query capabilities, I often create a new Listview that is able to display the related info I am looking for so I can stay within the TMS application to quickly review and address my data.

 

In this case, my new listview would show the total count of related components and then a concatenated list of the component names (maintain the 1:1 correlation). Then I’d sort that list by Count, and add those 2+ to an Object Package, if necessary. Having a Listview allows for continuous monitoring and security so only certain users have access to it. You can even program columns to compare the data for you so you can quickly spot those that don’t match your data standards.

 

Hope this helps!

Hi Anna, I don't know how to do it in the TMS search but I was able to use the following SQL Query:

 

select * from Objects
where ObjectID in (
select ObjectID
from ObjComponents
group by ObjectID
having count(*) > 1
)

Hello all,

I am trying to find all the object records in TMS at my institution that have additional components (such that the little red star appears by department). We unfortunately have had some inconsistent naming conventions used for components, and having exhausted those I don't know how to find the records with components that don't fit those conventions. Does anyone have any advice on how to conduct such a search in TMS? Is it even possible to run a search to find objects with components (that doesn't just return all the records in the object table)?

Thanks in advance,

Anna
