4 Searching the Database
Most ID Works projects are connected to a
database.
You get information out of a database by
searching it. There are two methods for searching the database:
Quick Search, for simple or one-time searches, and Advanced
Search, for more complicated searches. You (or the ID Works project
designer) can use Advanced Search to store search criteria for
searches you will perform repeatedly.
Performing a Quick Search
To perform a simple or one-time search of the database, click the
button on the toolbar that has a magnifying glass on it (the Quick
Search button), or from the menu bar, select Record and then Quick
Search. The Quick Search dialog box opens.
If the Quick Search button and menu command do not appear on
your ID Works window, you do not have permission to search the
database or you are restricted to running stored searches. Contact
your ID Works administrator to gain permission to search the
database.
