Most searches are based on specific fields, but there are also about a dozen criteria that apply to entire records. (Keep in mind that these criteria can be used in any combination with other search criteria.)

Is Already Selected — This option allows new selections to be partially based on the results of previous selections. If this option is chosen, only records that were already matched in a previous selection will be identified as a match. In the example below, a previous selection located all organizations with Photo in the name. Now that selection is being revised to include only photo related organizations in Texas. (To learn about another way to revise an existing selection see Refining a Selection.)

Is Not Already Selected — This option allows new selections to be partially based on the results of previous selections. If this option is chosen, only records that were not matched in the previous selection will be identified as a match in this selection.

Is a Data Record — Any raw data record (not a summary record) will be identified as a match.

Is a Summary Record — Any summary record will be identified as a match. (This option duplicates the Select Summaries command that was available in previous versions of Panorama.)

First NN records — This option allows you to select the first few records in the database. In this example the first 25 records in the database will be selected.

Last NN records — This option allows you to select the last few records in the database.

Every other record (1, 3, 5…) — This option allows you to select half of the records in the database. Every other record is selected, starting with the first record.

Every other record (2, 4, 6…) — This option allows you to select half of the records in the database. Every other record is selected, starting with the second record.

Every 3rd record (1, 4, 7…) — This option allows you to select one third of the records in the database. Every third record is selected, starting with the first record.

Every 3rd record (2, 5, 8…) — This option allows you to select one third of the records in the database. Every third record is selected, starting with the second record.

Every 3rd record (3, 6, 9…) — This option allows you to select one third of the records in the database. Every third record is selected, starting with the third record.
