New Audimated App - Looping Search

Audimated Apps

Searching multiple data fields in IDEA is easy with this new Looping Search App. IDEA users can search within 1, 2, or 3 fields for specific words, phrases, numbers, dates or other information. Each search produces a separate database, where a field is added to each database to identify the item that was used for the search. The search results are compiled into a single database, flagged and named based on the field name of the items for easy retrieval. The remaining databases are deleted - allowing users to focus on specific data sets for further analysis.
