Finding a specific item in the system can be challenging unless you know exactly where to look for it.<\/p>\n<p>You can use the Search function to find one or more items quickly. Every tasklist has a Search appropriate to its data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: only some of the tasklist options apply to search results: page length, available column choices, and sorting choices.<\/p>\n<p>The following image shows the search bar, which appears just below the Tasklist Options bar.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2172\" src=\"https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/spaerc_tasklist_search.jpg\" alt=\"tasklist search\" width=\"268\" height=\"161\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>To use Search<\/h2>\n<p>Click anywhere on the Search bar to expand the section. The search criteria will display and will vary depending on the tasklist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: When you click on the <strong>Search<\/strong> bar, the word Search will change to Hide Search. Clicking the words, or bar, a second time will close the search criteria section.<\/p>\n<p>The following image shows the search criteria for the Applications tasklist.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1942\" src=\"https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/spaerc_app_tasklist_search.jpg\" alt=\"application tasklist search criteria\" width=\"514\" height=\"540\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Enter one or more search terms (generally a minimum of two to three characters, not case sensitive) then click Search. A more specific search will return fewer items. Note that each search criterion indicates what type of search is done: matches, contains, or starts with. These are described below. Note that the Application search has one special field for searching Personnel by role. This is also describe below.<\/p>\n<p>The Search Criteria section will close, and the refreshed tasklist will display the results of the search. You can then open a specific item from the list. The current search criteria will display on the Search bar and a &#8220;Your actions was completed successfully&#8221; message displays above the tabs, as shown in the following image.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2173\" src=\"https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/spaerc_search_criteria_on_bar.jpg\" alt=\"search criteria on tasklist search bar\" width=\"329\" height=\"139\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Understanding Search Results<\/h2>\n<p>When you specify multiple search terms, the items on the resulting tasklist will display only if they match ALL of the terms specified.<\/p>\n<h2>Types of Search<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Matches:\u00a0 <\/strong>An item&#8217;s value for that criterion must be identical to the search term specified.\u00a0For example, searching for an Application Number of &#8220;A12345&#8221; or &#8220;12345&#8221; will match only the application A12345. The &#8220;A&#8221; is optional.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contains:<\/strong> An item&#8217;s value for that criterion must include the search term within it.\u00a0For example, searching for a Sponsor Name containing \u201chealth\u201d will result in items which have a sponsor of \u201cNational Institutes of Health (NIH),\u201d the \u201cHarvard Public School of Health\u201d and others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Starts With:<\/strong> An item\u2019s value must begin with the same characters as the search term.\u00a0For example, searching for an Organization Code of \u201c3080\u201d will result in items with a code of 3080001000, 30800003000, and others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Personnel Search: <\/strong>To use the Personnel search by role, click the Look Up Personnel link, search for and select the desired person.
