Advanced Search

The Advanced Search feature gives you a way to search for Events, Invoices, and Payments. It is one of the quickest and easiest ways to start generating reports.

 

Advanced Searches return any results that match your selected criteria. Those results can be printed as a PDF document or as an Excel spreadsheet. In FSDirect, an Advanced Search can also be set up as a Saved Action, allowing you to easily run the search again in the future. Saved Actions can also be set up to automatically generate and email the results to multiple email addresses on a regular basis.

How to Run an Advanced Search

• Click on the Advanced Search link located next to the Search For box in the upper left hand corner of the page.
• The Advanced Search defaults to the Event Advanced Search. To search for Invoices, or Payments, hover your mouse over the Shortcuts menu and click on the appropriate link.
