Search Project By

In case of a long list of projects, you can also narrow down the project search by defining the search criteria above the grid.

The first field contains a drop down with Columns list on it.

The second field is a Search box that will act in accordance with the Column selected on the drop down.

First, select the column you want to initiate the search upon and then enter the column value to filter the records accordingly.

The search box is “case insensitive” and makes inclusive search e.g. for the column Key the search with “er” returns records with Key “SER”, “GER” and “ERT”.

Once you shorten the project list, select project(s) from the list and then click the Enable Selected button or Disable Selected button.
