Preview the Search Results

After building a search, you can preview the actual list of records and the total number of records that match your search criteria.

Prerequisites: Create a new search or open an existing search

To preview the search results:

  1. If a list of matching results does not automatically display on the Search dialog, click the Show Preview toggle to display the search results:
    • The Search Results grid displays a list of all records matching your search criteria. These records also display when you use the Searches List on the main form for the record. For more information about search lists in Vantagepoint, see Searches List.
    • Some searches include a link to show the number of search results. The Show # of Results field displays the total record count for the Search Results grid. This number is dynamic based on the criteria in the search.

    You can also expand the Search Results Preview to fill the screen, allowing you to scroll through and filter long lists of results. Maximize the Search Results Preview.
