Smart Search Sub-Tab
The Smart Search sub-tab on the Smart Elements tab allows you to enable dynamic search for records in the Report Preview window. This feature provides an expedient method to find data in reports that have extensive records. When this feature is available, a row displays above the report records, allowing you to enter a value on which to base the search.
Once a value is entered into a column, the report results refresh, listing the records that match your search criteria and highlighting the characters that match in yellow.
Enable the Smart Search feature:
-
Click the Smart Search sub-tab.
-
Select whether smart search should be set off, enabled as a single search, or enabled in multiple columns from the Smart Search field.
-
The Smart Mode Only options indicate that the Smart Search fields should only display when Smart Mode is enabled in the Report Preview window.
-
The Single Search options add a single Search field in the Report Preview window that searches in all columns of the report.
-
The Multiple Column Search options add a Search field above each column of the report, supporting dynamic search of the content of that one column.
By default, each search field allows free-form entry of a search string. Fields connected to a table with limited result options can be set to display as a menu or check box in the Report Preview window. This setting enabled using the Smart Search Type setting in the Report Field Options window.
