Find By Social prompt
A list of matching records will be displayed.
Find By Social results
Selecting OK while leaving the prompt empty will
cause Collect! to display ALL records.
This function searches all debtor records looking at
the Debtor SSN field. Then, before leaving the debtor
record Collect! will look at all debtor cosigner/other
records, searching for an SSN field that matches the
search criteria.
If Collect! finds any matches, it displays a list of the
matching records.
For example to find all instances of 214-77-8898
type '214-77-8898'.
To search for a set of numbers in the middle of
a SSN values, type *77 (or whatever you need).
The asterisk [*] tells Collect! to search all SSN fields
for a number containing the Find By Social criteria.
For example, if you know there's a SSN code you
are looking for such as '214-77-8898', you could
type '*214' and it will come up with both
'214-77-8898' and '250-77-7214'.
Searching with [*] is a lot slower than just
typing the first few characters of the desired
SSN because the system has to read every
single key and search it for matching characters.
There is a difference in using Find By Social
when you have entered your SSN numbers
inconsistently. Numbers entered as '214778898'
are actually different from '214-77-8898' when
compared for a match. It is important to enter all
SSN numbers in a consistent way.
When the list is displayed, you can immediately
start typing the exact SSN you wish to find and
Collect! will scroll through the displayed list to
move you to the specific SSN you may be looking
for.
Once the row with your SSN is highlighted, press
ENTER or select the row with your mouse and
Collect! will open the Debtor form. If the SSN
you selected was in one of the cosigner/other
records, the debtor to whom the cosigner/other
record belongs will be displayed.
When you are ready, you can either back all
the way out and return to what you were doing,
or you can return to the list and select another
row to work.
If you go too far, select Browse Find By Social again
and Collect! will retain what you previously searched
for. This helps speed up your lookups.
Once you Cancel the list, or back out to another
form, the matching SSN numbers list will be released.
