Restricting which issues to Update and / or Searching the Update Database

The Find Issues window gives you the opportunity to search for issues using selection criteria based on any fields in the table. If, for example, you want to see how all the Ultimate Spider-man titles have been doing over the last few months, you can do that from here.

This works exactly the same way the Find Issues window in Realms works.

It's important that you understand that whatever you currently have displayed in the Update List serves as the starting point for the update process.

Therefore, if you use the Find window, and select only issues for Amazing Spider-man, and then run the update, it will only update Amazing Spider-man.

You can scroll down for more info, or click on the image above to bring info related to the specific button/field to the top of this frame.

Data Field Value

Enter the value to search for in any of the corresponding text boxes. Don't forget about using the asterisk (*) as a wild card character. For example, if you are looking for all titles with the words "Lady Death" anywhere in the title, you would enter "*Lady Death*" as the value for which to search

Listing current values (for easier selection)

If you're not sure what values already exist on the database (for example, if you not sure whether to look for "Crow, The" or "The Crow"), you can click the Show Data button (which changes to Hide Data when the data is showing). This will bring up a list of all the current values for the selected field. You can then simply select from the list. This makes data entry considerably more accurate.

Available fields to search by

All the fields by which you can search are listed here. Enter the desired value in the corresponding text box, and then select the Find (And) button to begin your search

Search Options

Turn on the Cue Cards in the application, and move the mouse over any of these buttons to get more information on what they mean and how to use them.
