DESCRIPTION:

The find tool searches for days containing a specified value in the journal.  The journal tool must be open (and its tab must be selected) to use this tool.  

Matches are shown in the "Results" field below.  Each result includes a date and part of the field or fields that matched the search value entered.  Double click on any match to display that day in the journal.  

When searching for text (such as notes), select "Contains" in the "Comparison" drop-down menu.  This will increase the chances of finding a successful match.  To search for numeric values, enter a single number only.  The number can be whole or decimal.  For example, to find all days in the specified date range, where you ran more than five miles, enter a "5" (without quotes) in the "Value" field, then choose the "Greater Than" comparison option and click "Find".

MENUS, FIELDS & BUTTONS:

Value Specifies the data value to search for in the journal, using the search criteria below.  If you are searching for text (such as notes), enter a word or phrase.  Select "contains" on the "Comparison" menu to improve results.  When searching for numeric values, enter a single number only.  The number can be whole or decimal.
Find Finds days in the journal that match the value specified, using the criteria below.  Matches will be listed in the "Results" field below.  If there are no matches, nothing will be shown.
Category Specifies the journal category.  This determines the journal fields that will be shown in the "Field" menu.  For example, if "Cardiovascular" is selected, only fields related to a cardiovascular workout (such as running, cycling or swimming) will be listed.
Field Specifies the journal data field to include in the search.  Only a single data field can be searched for at one time and only non-zero values will be included.  For example, if there are five workouts stored in a date range, and only two contain non-zero data for the field selected, then only two values will be included in the search.
Comparison Specifies the type of comparison to use when searching for matches in the journal.  This determines how the search value will be compared against data in the journal.  There are seven options, which include, "Contains", "Equals", "Not Equal", "Less Than", "Less Than Or Equal", "Greater Than", and "Greater Than or Equal".  When searching for text in a text field, select "Contains".  This will increase the chances of finding a successful match.  If you are searching for numeric values, any of the comparison options can be used.
Date Range Specifies the date range to include the search.  There are eight options which include, "Last 7 Days", "Last 14 Days", "Last 30 Days", "Last 3 months", "Last 6 months", "Last Year", "All Data", and "Use Range Below".  "All Data" includes all of the data available in the database.  The "Use Range Below" option, uses the date range specified below.
