Search Across Multiple Info Centers

When Info Center records contain fields that are linked together, you can use an Info Center lookup to create a search that queries all of these related records.

Prerequisites: If you want to start a new Advanced Search, click the Clear button before you start the Advanced search so that information from the previous search is not included in the new search.

To search across Vision Info Center records, complete the following steps:

1. Complete one of the following actions:

   Option	Description
   In the Search field, enter all or part of the record name that you want to open and press the ENTER key.	Vision searches for matching records in your database. If only one possible match is found, Vision opens the record. If more than one possible match is found, Vision displays a list of all possible matches. Click the record that you want.
   Click Search to use a Lookup to find and select the Info Center record that you want to open.	You can select multiple records to open, but you can view only one record at a time.
   Click Open beside the Search field.	Use a previously saved search to search for and select the Info Center record that you want to open.

   Vision opens the Info Center lookup.
