Selecting Find Results

[nelliott]

After I've performed a FIND using multiple requests I want to be able to list the results and then choose the records I want to save by e.g. ticking a checkbox on the list screen and then only saving the records that are ticked. If I was only using 1 search request I could use Modify Last Find and then use the checkbox as part of the search criteria but how can I do this when using multiple criteria?

If you want to save the reords that have the boxes checked, then the previous find is not relevant. All you need to do is run a find for records in which the box is checked, then save the resultant records. You will need to have a scripted routine which clears the check boxes in all the records after your initial find.

If having boxes elsewhere in the file as Checked is important, then you can modify the last find with a looping script which will add the check box to each find request. In this example, I've assumed that when you click the check box, the Box field is set to "Yes" from a value list:

Modify Last Find

Go to Record/Request/Page [First]

Loop

.Set Field["Box",""Yes""]

.Go to Record/Request/Page [Exit after Last, Next]

End Loop

Perform Find []

Why don't you do just opposite.

Instead of checking records to save (create an script that would) omit the record that you don't need.

No need for extra fileds and extra scripting.
