Edit Menu

The Edit menu contains the following options:

New

Displays a dialog where you can specify criteria for a new item.

Change

Displays a dialog where you can specify changes to the selected item.

Delete

Deletes the selected item.

Find

Use the Find option (Control+F) to highlight rows in the Details view that meet specific criteria.

The Find dialog contains two tabs: Basic and Advanced.

• Basic Tab

In the field on the Basic tab, specify characters you wish to find in any column in the Details view.

If you're searching through a large amount of data and you know in which column the data will be found, consider using the Advanced tab to generate results more quickly. When using the Basic tab, for every row, each column is searched until a column with a match is found.

Check Match case to perform a case-sensitive comparison. In most cases, using Match case will speed up your search.

Select one of the following:

Starts with: Highlight rows containing columns where characters that start with the specified characters are found.

Contains: Highlight rows containing columns where characters composed of the specified characters are found.

Is exactly: Highlight rows containing columns where characters that match the specified characters exactly are found.

Both tabs contain the following buttons:

Find All button: Highlights all the rows in the table that meet the Find criteria.

Find Next button: Highlights the next row in the table that meets the Find criteria.

Cancel button: Click to close the dialog without performing a search.

• Advanced Tab

Use the Advanced Tab to specify characters you wish to find under a specific column in the table.

  To Find using the Advanced tab

1. Open the Find dialog by right-clicking in the Detail view and selecting Find or by pressing Control+F.
2. Define the search criteria:
   1. From the Field list, select the name of the column you wish to search.
   2. Choose a Comparison method.
   3. In the Value field, enter the value to be considered in the search criteria.

   Depending on the data type, a number spinner may be available for selecting a value. If the value is case-sensitive, a Match case check box is available to perform a case-sensitive comparison.

   4. Check the Add to List button to include the criteria in the criteria list. If you wish to delete one of the search criteria, select the item and click Remove.
3. If multiple selection criteria were created, select whether:
   • Matches should be made only if all criteria are met (AND)
   • Matches should be made if at least one of the criteria is met (OR)
4. Select Find All to highlight all the rows in the table or Find Next to highlight the next row in the table that meets the Find criteria.
