Searching specific fields in the data table view

You can search for specific data from the data table list by clicking the search icon on the right side of the data table. This will reveal text boxes below each column heading. You just type your search term in the box under the column you would like to search and press Enter. Depending on the data table view you have selected, you may have more fields to search. You can even enter search terms in multiple text boxes.

Info

This technique is best if you are looking for specific data one time. If you often need to look for a specific set of data (for example, senior huskies) then you may want to create a Custom data table view.

There are a few differences you may notice using this search technique. Please review the examples below so that you understand what to expect.

Specific Field Search Example 

In this example, you are only looking for animals that are named Chance and you only want records that are included in the custom data table view you have selected. You would click the Search icon and enter Chance under the Name column and press Enter. This would allow you to stay in your custom view and see only the animal records in this data table with the name of Chance.

Multiple Specific Fields Search Example 

Searching by specific fields is especially helpful if you have a few details to search by. Perhaps a potential adopter has asked if you have any available male Boxers that are a fawn color. As long as your selected view has those fields, you can enter multiple terms at the same time and then press Enter to narrow your list.
