Finding and Filtering Archive Entries


Both Successful Jobs Archive and Unsuccessful Jobs Archive in FTSpooler are fully searchable databases. There are four options that can be selected: Find, Filter, More filters and Show All. The results replace the contents of the archive window, with the Show All icon returning to the full archive contents at any time.

Find a Record

This option allows you to find records that match the settings you choose in the dialog box.
  • Select Find from the Records Menu or click on the button on the tool bar.
  • This Dialog box pops up.



  • Select a type from the Find where dropdown list. Date/Time allows you to specify date and time selection criteria and display matching jobs. Other options within the dropdown list are Queue, Form, Input/Output Data and Recipients with a text command line to make your query.
  • The command line is similar to an SQL select statement: SELECT * FROM Archive WHERE <expression>. Expression refers to the text field indicated.
