Search Fields
User Name - String
NetDB account names use the SUNet ID of the person. Search by either SUNet ID (account name) or full name. For best results, use the unique SUNet ID.
Example:

Name: Full Name = Leland*Stanford*
Use the wildcard, in case the person has a middle name.
Active Account - Radio Button
Search for only active, only inactive or either.

Last Login is the last date that this User logged into NetDB.
Example:
Search for Users who have logged in since March 2, 2009
On or After = 3/2/2009
LNA Department - String
Users are LNAs for departments.
Example:
Find Users who support Chemical Engineering

Local Network Administrators. Search by full name.

Record Type Access - Radio Buttons/Checkbox
A User can only create/modify/delete records if the User has access to
that record type. Use this field to look for Users with particular

Example:

Search for phone number = "?123? 456-7890"
Searches using fields which contain parenthesis, such as the phone number field, will fail if parenthesis are used. The workaround is to use asterisks (*) or question marks (?) in place of parenthesis.

Default Group - String
Modified By - String

Search for "Modified By SUNet ID = jodoe or jadoe"
or "Modified By Name = Jane Doe or John Doe"
Modified Date - Date
Modified Date is the last time the record was modified.
Example:
Search for records modified on January 1, 2000.

Display
For intelligible results, it is usually important to show the field and any fields it is associated
with. If a User is the LNA for several departments and you set the display to show network consultant
but not department, the results may not make intuitive sense.
