Lesson 3 | Finding and sorting records 22
Save a find request to use later
If you create a complex find request that you plan to use repeatedly, you can save it as a saved find.
You can then quickly and easily perform the find request from either Browse mode or Find mode.
To save your last find request:
1. Do one of the following:
1 Windows: Click the down arrow to the right of the Find button and choose Save Current Find.
1 Mac OS: Click and hold the Find button, then choose Save Current Find.
Your last find request appears in the Specify Options for the Saved Find dialog box.
2. For Name, type 2011 Fees Paid, Except March and click Save.
Find records using a saved find
To run your saved find request:
1. In Browse mode, click Show All in the status toolbar.
The pie chart in the status toolbar once again shows the total number of records in the sample file.
2. Do one of the following:
1 Windows: Click the down arrow to the right of the Find button, and under Saved Finds,
choose 2011 Fees Paid, Except March.
1 Mac OS: Click and hold the Find button, and under Saved Finds choose 2011 Fees Paid,
Except March.
Once again, only the 11 records meeting the criteria you specified in your saved find appear.
Sort your found set
After you have a found set of records to work with, you might want to sort those records. For example,
you might want to display the records in alphabetical order, or sort them from newest to oldest.
