# 2. Find/Search Solicitations

**COBBLESTONE SOFTWARE**

Contract Insight — User Guide

**2. Find/Search Solicitations**

*Module: Solicitations › Solicitations › 2. Find/Search Solicitations*

**Note:** Each procedure in this guide begins at the Contract Insight homepage, so any section can be followed on its own. Custom fields are configurable, so the exact field list on a contract category record may vary between environments.

# 1. Overview

The **Solicitations** list (Sourcing > **Solicitations**) is the live Find/**Search** screen, holding 6,178 records across 124 pages. Its toolbar offers three distinct **search** mechanisms confirmed live: a plain **Search** box (searches across default fields), "**Search**: **Search fields**" (choose which specific fields a term matches), and "**Filter on several columns at once**" (build multi-column filter criteria). "**Choose which columns this list shows**" lets staff customize the visible column set, and every column header carries its own Filter icon for a one-column quick filter — together covering the legacy description of searching by fields such as close date or award amount.
