Search Formulas

FrmSearchFormula

You can use this form to search for formulas that meet the specified search properties (criteria). Suppose you have some idea of what you are looking for. You do not know the exact formula code. You can use the see a list of objects that match the search criteria. You can continue searching with additional properties until the list is small enough that you can examine each formula individually.

Create a search by specifying a Search Code and Description. Or, use an existing search from the lookup list, edit it and save it as a new search.

The search properties can include these characteristics of an object:

• Formula code (or part of a code with a wildcard *)
• Formula description (or part of a description with a wildcard *)
• Parameters
• Status, Hold and Approval codes
• Items for formulas
• Multiple values for multi-value attributes
• The search can also include other associations:
  • Classes
  • Context information
  • Sets
  • Owner
  • Special add-on modules, such as specifications and tests

Perform calculations before searching. Calculations and scaling are not performed by the search itself. They must be done through the technical parameter values before the search. Then the calculations and scaling can be used by the search.
