FIELD_VALUE

The search value - a string, a date, a number.
Follow these guidelines when specifying values:
  • The value can be partial text or whole words
  • Enclose strings and date/time values in 'single quotes'
  • To specify date values, use the Date Format as specified in Company Information
  • To search for a blank (empty) string, use two single quotes, with nothing between them ('').
  • To search for a blank (empty) field of other kinds, use a field value of BLANK
  • To include multiple values for a field, separate each value using the pipe symbol (|)
For example: company_name='Acme|Ajax'
  • To include a single quote in the value you're searching for, specify four single quotes ('''').
For example, to search for the phrase, That's right! you would specify 'That''''s right!'.
Examples:
String: 'Paper 123'
Date: '06/06/2007'
Numeric Value: 9383
Empty Field: '' or BLANK
