Specify one or more search criteria, as described in the following table:
Field | Instructions |
---|---|
Enter Search String | Type all or part of a search string. This field searches the concatenation of CDE Short Name, CDE Long Name, and any type of Question text. (To adjust search scope, click the Advanced Filter icon.) |
CDE Public ID | Specify the full numeric value for a single CDE public ID. (You cannot use wildcards in numeric fields.) |
CDE Long Name | Type all or part of a CDE long name. (To adjust search scope, click the Advanced Filter icon.) |
Multiple Public ID Search | Type all or part of a public ID. To specify multiple public IDs, click the Advanced Filter icon. In the adjacent field, select One of the Words. To treat each specified number as a complete ID, enclose each ID in periods and separate each value with a space (for example: .5. .6. .10.). The periods ensure an exact match to the public ID. Otherwise, this search treats the IDs as text and returns any public ID containing the specified value. For example, "5" returns any public ID containing "5". Also, if you have a column of IDs in a spreadsheet, and each ID is enclosed in periods, you can copy that column into this field. |
CDE Short Name | Type all or part of a CDE short name. (To adjust search scope, click the Advanced Filter icon.) |
