Search Hub Records

Because the hubs may contain a large number of records, Vantagepoint provides multiple methods for locating the hub records that you need.

You can use a standard, pre-defined search or create a new search.

  • To select an existing search, use the Searches list at the top of the hub form and select a standard, legacy, personal (My Search), shared, or SQL Where Clause search. The list displays searches that match the type of search that is selected and that your security role can access.
  • To create a new search, click the + New Search option to open the New Search dialog box and create a new search that returns records from any of the hubs. See the Build a Basic Search, Build an Advanced Search, and Build a SQL Where Clause Search help topics for information on creating a new search.

You can also enable the search preference Find words that sound the same when performing searches to locate word records that sound the same in lookups across all hubs and applications. This type of word search allows you to find names or words that have variant spellings or that contain diacritical (accent) marks or special characters (for example, Steven/Stephen or Rene/Renee or Smith/Smyth/Smythe). For more information, see Set the Search Preference to Find Words That Sound the Same.
