Using the Find Items function
The Find Items function provides a quick way to use the DLA to find items without having to use Data Manager
software to create a pull list or search list. This function uses a simple user-defined search function (Specify
Find Criteria) to find any item on a shelf-order list that is on the DLA's memory card.
To use the Find function
Step 1—Use the Specify Criteria screen to enter the item that you want to find
1. From the Home screen, press Find.
2. Create a temporary find list (similar to a pull list) that
includes the item(s) that you want to find.
a) Tap one of the following buttons:
Item ID
Primary Info
Secondary Info
b) Use the keyboard screen to enter unique find criteria
(numbers or letters) that occur at the beginning of the
selected field.
If you enter multiple find criteria, all find criteria must
be matched.
c) Tap Done.
d) If desired, repeat steps a-c to define additional Find
criteria.
Find criteria
• The find criteria must occur at the beginning
of the field(s).
• The Primary and Secondary find criteria are not case
sensitive. Item ID criteria are case sensitive.
• Because a search starts at the beginning of a field, you must
enter all parts of the field that occur at the beginning
(including any articles such as “a”, “the”, and “an”).
In the example shown on this page, the call number of the
item was known so it was entered in the Enter Secondary
Info field.
3. Press Find.
