Retrieve records within a range

Applies to User Roles:

System Administrator

Example: Retrieve all device records where the value of the Part Number field is greater than a character value of 500 and less than a character value of 1000.

In this example we execute a greater than (>) and less than (<) search on the device.g form to search part numbers where the value is greater than the number 500 and less than the number 1000.

Note: For a range query on numeric fields, use the Query window.

To retrieve records within a range:

Click Tailoring > Database Manager.
Type =device in the Form field, and then click Search.
On the Manage CI form, type >500 AND <1000 in the Part Number field.
Click Find.
Click any record in the list of returned records to view the details

Note: A device is also referred to as a Configuration Item (CI).
