Change Details Find Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to find a specific record in the Change Details View grid.

Place your cursor in the Change Details View grid column in which you want to search, and take one of the following actions to display the Find dialog box:

When you search data using the Find dialog box, PM Compass searches the database rather than the grid content. After making changes in Change Details, you should save before using the Find dialog box if you are searching for data that you may have changed in the current session so that newly changed data is included in the search. You cannot search on calculated fields (for example, CV%, SV%, and so on). Requested dates are calculated when you expand the work package node to display the activities. You can only find changed requested dates after the scheduler step.

Find What

Use this field to enter or select the text for which you want to search.

If the search column is a calculated field column (for example, CV%, SV%, and so on), the Find What field is populated with the first control account field (usually WBS).

If the search column is Duration, you must enter the same units as displayed in the grid to find the duration. If you select the Match entire cell contents option, you must include the duration units.

Within

This field displays the name of the selected column in which to perform the search. This is the column in which your cursor was active when you clicked Find. If you did not place your cursor into any cell before clicking Find, this field defaults to the first control account field (usually WBS).

Find Options

When searching for numbers and durations, PM Compass uses the "starts with" search. For example, if the Duration column has 10, 100, and 100 and you search for 10, PM Compass will find all of them if the Match case option is not selected. If you search for d, PM Compass will not find it.
