Using FTA Search

The
FTA Search
 screen is laid out in multiple sections, with each section serving a different purpose in the creation of a query.

Choose Source

To begin using the
FTA Search
 screen:
  1. Click on the
    Choose Source
     drop-down.
  2. Choose a set of Products, Certificates, or Bills of Material to search.
  3. After a source has been selected, proceed to the
    Display Fields
     section of the screen. The
    Display Fields
     section is used to create the data set for the query.
The fields available in the
Source Columns
 side are all the available column headers of the source table selected in the
Choose Source
 drop-down.

Display Fields

To create the data set, look at the
Source Columns
 section and choose which columns to add to the query.
There are two methods for moving a field from the
Source Columns
 section to the Display Columns section. You can either click and drag the source column to the Display Columns section or click the source column(s) and use the arrow buttons to move the column(s) back and forth.
To change the order of the
Display Columns
, either drag the field names or use the up and down arrow buttons to the right until the columns are in the correct order. After the necessary fields have been selected and ordered, the fields will appear in the
Report Fields
 section of the screen.
All new searches that are created will be included under the
NEW SEARCH
 tab at the bottom of the screen. This tells both the system and the user that this is a new search that has not been saved yet. Saving searches is detailed below in the
Savings Searches
 section.

Search Fields (Parameters)

After the data set has been created, the searching capabilities in the
Search Fields
 section can be used to locate key information contained within the data set.
In the
Current Search Criteria
 section, search criteria can be added via
Search Parameter
 (e.g. ProductNum),
Comparison
 (e.g. Contains), and
Value
 (e.g. “CRTD”).
To set a parameter:
  1. Click
    Add New Parameter
    . The search criteria fields will then become available.
  2. Set the necessary parameter in the provided fields.
  3. Click
    Insert
    .
It is important to note that the available options in the
Search Parameter
 drop-down will match the fields selected in the
Display Columns
 section of the screen.
After
Insert
 is clicked, the query will run based on the specified search parameters. The
NEW SEARCH
 tab will highlight data matching the query.
Additional search parameters can be applied to the query by following the steps listed above.
