About searching within grids

In advanced search, grid attributes appear in the list of available attributes to add to a search for all project templates that are enabled, whether or not any projects or marketing objects exist that have been created from that template.

For example, assume that your system contains the following:

  • A project template named Trade show, and this template is enabled.
  • A tab named Vendors is available for Trade show templates.
  • The Vendors tab contains a grid, and one of the grid columns is named Vendor URL.

On the advanced search screen for projects, you can select Vendor URL when you choose a condition for the search. The Vendor URL attribute appears in the list, even if your system does not contain any Trade show projects.

When a template is deleted, its grid attributes are no longer available as search criteria. You can search for attributes in a disabled template; choose a disabled template (or All Disabled) from the advanced search screen.
