Every list in your CRM database is searchable.
While each list contains slightly different information, the searching functionality is common across all lists.
Community Data Solutions has worked with your organisation to tailor your database to your needs. Each CRM database is different, but the underlying functionality is the same.
When you are searching for records you can save the search for use later, this will save you having to type in the same criteria next time you go to do the same search.
Saved searches can be created by any user but only the user who saves the search will access to the saved search.
Tip: This article has been written with 'Case Management' as the scenario but you can use the knowledge below and apply it any search screen.
