How to Perform a QuickFind

A QuickFind search allows you to search Entity, Allocation, Proposal, Contact Reports and Tasks. A query is built by
entering criteria into data fields for each parameter on which to search.

To perform a QuickFind:

    1. Within AWA, click the ‘QuickFind’ icon       on the menu bar.
    2. When the QuickFind page displays, first select a Lookup Type. The default is ‘Entity’.
       Next select a Lookup Action. The Lookup Action determines what should happen once the results are generated
       (i.e. Print results, Display results, etc.). The default is ‘Display results/Open on exact match’.
    3. By default the criteria ‘Record Status’ equals ‘A’ctive is displayed. However, this could be modified as needed. To
       add search parameters, click on the button ‘Add Criteria’. Then select criteria from the list of parameters.
    4. To change the operator (i.e. Equals, Not Includes, etc.) for listed parameters, click on the down‐arrow key to
       view the drop down. Depending on the parameter, various operators will appear.
       Select Equals when there is only one code you need to use.
       Choose Includes when you wish to choose multiple codes.
    5. To select or enter a value in the drop down box, calendar or select box, click on the down‐arrow key and select
       the desired value(s).
    6. To remove all criteria click the ‘Clear Criteria’ button.
    7. Criteria can be saved by clicking ‘Save Criteria’. A pop‐up displays asking if the saved criteria should be private or
       made available to everyone. Also, this is where you would name the saved criteria.
       Once complete, click on ‘Save’.
    8. The ‘Search’ button initiates the search. A message will appear above the criteria indicating the search is taking
       place or there was a problem with the criteria.
    9. To retrieve saved criteria, click on the button ‘Load Criteria’. A pop‐up displays which list all criteria saved by
       you. Then a listing of all available saved criteria from other users sorted by last name appears. Select the saved
       criteria you wish to work with and then click ‘Load’.
    10. To run reports based on QuickFind results, go to Actions (from the Entity Lookup List Bar), then click Reports.
        Click the ellipse button next to the type of report you wish to run. Once you choose your report type, enter a
        title for the report and click Continue. You can then either modify or view any entity exclusions, or just click Run
        Report.
