Basic

The Basic tab allows you to search for subscriber accounts depending on a code, a subscriber, or a service provider.

Code: Is the identifier of the subscriber account. In the drop-down list, select a search comparator such as Equals, Is Like, Starts With, Ends With, or Contains. In the next field, type the string that you want to search in the database. For example, if you want to find all subscriber accounts containing the letters “eric”, you select the “Contains” option, and then type “eric”.

Subscriber: Is the client that holds an account. The drop-down list is described just above. Type the string that you want to search for in the database.

Service Provider: Is the owner of the catalog. The drop-down list is described just above. If you are associated to a catalog, this field is automatically filled in with the name of the related catalog and cannot be modified. Otherwise, you type the string that you want to search for in the database.

Advanced

To search for subscriber accounts, the Advanced tab allows you to create a table with one or more search criteria based on additional information. To add a row to the table, click the More button. To delete a row from the table, click the Less button.

Notes:

If the table comprises several rows and if you want to delete a row, the Remove dialog box opens to display the identifier names. Select the row that you want to delete from the table, and then click OK.
If you choose the Is Like comparator when building criteria rows, you can type “*” in the right-hand field to represent a number of characters and “?” to represent a single character.

Each row of the table consists of three fields. To set up a row, do the following:

In the first field, select a search criterion such as Add. Info (String), Add. Info (Number), or Add. Info (Date) in the list of identifiers.
In the second field, select a search comparator such as Equals, Is Like, Starts With, for example.
In the third field, select or type the string that you want to search in the database.
