Reordering find requests in "Perform Find [Restore]" script step?

Featured Replies

Sorry if this is a total noob question; my google-fu wasn't strong enough to find the answer.

Using the "Perform Find [Restore]" script step, the "Specify Find Requests" window says "Find requests are executed in the order that they appear."

Okay, so the list of requests must be easily re-orderable, right? How do you do that?

TIA,

Ian

Perform the find manually in the order you wish, and then open and save the script.

Sorry, I may not've phrased my question very well. Let's say I have a script with a "Perform Find" step that has a dozen requests (some "Find," others "Omit"). Let's say I want to reorder the list without manually recreating the entire find sequence. Is that possible?

Unfortunately, Knoxlan, you can't reorder the list. Where you can drag items up or down, you will see the up-down arrow to the left. But yes, FM should allow reordering. If it is complex, you can print the script to more easily reenter the values.

fwiw, I don't use Perform Find (Restore). I use the construct:

Enter Find Mode

Set Field

..

Perform Find

bcs I can easily see the Find criteria when I read the script. And...you can drag script steps up and down.
