Search Within a Grid

In-Line Filter a Grid to Find Specific Results

Many of the grids in the different modules have search forms built into them that allow you to search for information contained in that grid. We will look at three grids as examples - permits and transponders under My Institution and occupants under Enclosures.

If there is a seach form available in the grid it will display to the right of the export icons.

Enclosures - Occupants

Only the current occupants of an Enclosure display in the grid as the default. To find other animals that have occupied the enclosure you can use the search form.

1. Animal ID - This allows you to find if a specific individual/group has occupied the enclosure.

2. Taxonomy - This allows you to find if any members of a specific taxonomy have occupied the enclosure.

3. Date In Range - Use the From and In dates to search for animals that were moved into the enclosure during a specific time range.

4. Date Out Range - Use the From and To dates to search for animals that were moved out of the enclosure during a specific date range.

5 .Show Historical Records - This must be checked to occupants that are no longer currently in the enclosure.

6. Include Dead - This will not be activated unless the Show Historical Records box above is checked.

7. Include Sub Enclosure - If this is checked the application will also search for animals that were held in any child, or sub, enclosures of this enclosure using the placement in the enclosure tree.

8. Clear Filter - Selecting this will clear any entries in the search form fields and bring the grid back to default display.
