Performing a query

To perform a query using a query form:

  1. Open the query form using one of these methods:
    • Select the query form directly in the Explorer.
    • For a form, from the Actions menu select Filter > By Query .
    • For a component, right-click on the component and then select the Find option from the context menu.
  2. Decide what primary criteria, if any, you want to filter on and include both an operator and a value to use for the filter.
    Note: 
    • Any primary criteria for which the operator and value are not both specified autmatically returns all possible values for that criteria.
    • You can use one or more wildcard characters (by default, an asterisk) for all or part of the value.
  3. Optionally, decide what other criteria you want to include in your query, and specify these on the Additional Criteria tab.
  4. Click Refresh .
  5. Optionally, to clear the results and initiate a new query, perhaps with modified search criteria, click Clear .
  6. To return the results of a satisfactory query to the parent form, click OK . To return to the parent form without returning the results of the query, click Cancel .
