The Search and Replace feature allows you to search for a specific word or phrase within a data field for a specified tab and replace it with a different word or phrase.
This process, depending upon the exact change you make, may be irreversible. Execute with care!
To execute a Search and Replace:
-
Choose a Tab and, if needed, run a search to pull up the records you seek to change.
-
Select the specific records upon which to perform the Search and Replace. Not making a selection will choose all records.
-
Select the ‘Change’ action button and choose ‘Search and Replace’. This opens the Search and Replace screen.
-
On the Search and Replace page, choose to either update the selected records or all records from the previous query. (A)
-
Since the Search And Replace can be a resource intensive activity, Gimmal Physical will execute this in a separate process and email you the results. Enter your email in the Email text box. (B)
-
Choose the data field for which you wish to replace values from the Choose Field drop down list. (C)
-
Enter a value to search for in the Search For Value text box. (D)
-
Enter the replacement value in the Replace With Value text box. (E)
-
Click the Go button. (F)
-
If an email was entered in Step 5, you will be notified by email when the Search And Replace is complete.
Additional search options can be found in the Search Overview.
