Field Search

Top  Previous  Next

Every NFIRS 5 Alive module contains a field search.

 

searchfield

 

This is the field search tool in Incidents. Begin by selecting the field you wish to use for the search. Next select a comparison like equals, do not equal, is greater than, etc. You may search only in the selection of records being displayed by placing a check in the "Search only displayed records" checkbox.  Finally, enter a value for search.

 

In Incidents many of the field names have additional letters.  For example, the "B_" in the name of the "B_IncidentNumber" field indicates the field is a part of the Basic module.  Here's the key:

 

A_ Arson

B_  Basic Module

C_ CAD Data (usually Imported)

F_  Fire Module

HM_ Hazmat Module

S_ Structure Fire Module

W_ Wildland Module

 

NFIRS 5 Alive utilizes the "@" symbols as a wildcard search character.  In any search "value" area, you may use the "@" symbol.  For example to locate every street beginning with the characters "West" simply enter:

 

West@

 

in the value area of the search.  NFIRS 5 Alive will locate all streets beginning with the characters to the left of the "@" symbol.
