38 FileMaker Script Steps Reference
Description
Switches to Find mode, where you can search for sets of records.
When you select Specify find requests at the time the script step is defined, FileMaker
Pro displays the current find request(s), if any. Additional find requests can be defined,
and existing find requests can be duplicated, edited, or deleted.
To edit a find request, select it from the list in the Specify Find Requests dialog box and
click Edit.
In the Edit Find Requests dialog box, select the action (Find Records or Omit Records)
you want the find request to perform. A single find request can either find records or omit
records, but cannot perform both actions at the same time. Use multiple find requests to
find and omit records from within a single script step.
For each field in your request, specify the criteria for which you want FileMaker Pro to search.
