Find Text in a Report

You can use the Find option to locate a particular string of text across various pages in a report.

Follow these steps:

1. Browse a report.
2. Move the cursor over the Edit menu in the report pane and click Find….
3. Enter the string you want to find in the Report Find text box.
4. Select the Up or Down Direction: option to search backward or forward through the report.
5. Select Match Case to search for text that matches the case of the search string you entered. Leave this option clear if you want the search to ignore case.
6. Click Find to locate the text.
   • If the string is found, the first page that contains the target string is displayed and every occurrence of the target string in the displayed page range is highlighted.

     For example, your report browser is configured to display five pages at a time and you search for the string Date. If the first occurrence is on page 20, pages 16-20 are displayed and the report automatically scrolls to page 20.

   • If the string is not found, the current page range is displayed again, and the message Search Value Not Found is displayed.
   • If the search reached the start or end of the report, a message such as Search reached end of document is displayed. You have to click Find to continue searching the report. The search automatically loops to the beginning or the end of the report, as necessary.
   • In large reports, your search might sometimes reach an admin set search page limit. You may see a message like Searched 10000 Pages Click find to continue. The search is not complete, but interrupted, because it is taking too long.
     • Click Find to continue searching document.
     • Click Cancel or enter a different search term to stop the search.
7. Click Find every time you want to go to the next instance of the target string within the displayed page range.
8. Click Find again to activate the subsequent search, to display the next group of pages containing the searched item.
