Digging Deeper into People Biographies with 5.0C5
Sara Van De Carr
With the Version 5.0C5 update, you now have the ability to run queries in People Biographies. The Query function allows you to perform searches on your records based on the contents of selected fields using a variety of conditions.
In the example below, we searched the Last Name field for “Hilton” using the Contains Text condition to find records where the name “Hilton” appears within the Last Name field. After running the query, there were seven matching records found.

Once a query is run, you can choose to View Records, which will allow you to view only the records listed under Query Results. You’ll be able to edit and print the People Biographies records and view associated catalog records. You also have the ability to save queries so that they can be retrieved at a later time.
To download the C5 update, please visit our website, http://museumsoftware.com/softwareupdates.html<http://comm100email20.com/Newsletter/Newsletter_Click.aspx?version=4&type=0&EmailId=507&EmailMessageId=999&UserOrContactId=13491&siteId=45720&LinkId=2105>.
