Searching for community members

Use the Set Community Search Criteria window to search for existing community members.

See Searching in the Introduction manual for details on how to use the search tools.

You can access Community Maintenance:

Setting search criteria - Set Community Search Criteria

In the Set Community Search Criteria window:

Note: The tabs displayed depend on your user security privileges.

Selections are filtered using AND/OR criteria, so the more selections you use, the more specific the search. For example, if you enter Smith and Williamstown, Synergetic will only return records for community members who are named Smith AND who live in Williamstown. Enter less information to return a group of people, or use specific information to search for individuals.
