From the Help Desk: Using the Advanced Business Search
Hello readers! Today we are bringing you a new blog entry inspired by a recent Help Desk question. If you ever have any questions about SimplyAnalytics, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at: support@simplyanalytics.com - let’s get started!
Question: How do I search for only the largest businesses in my area?
Answer: The Advanced Business search in SimplyAnalytics enables users to run more advanced business queries. This example requires setting up a query to only show businesses that have more than 250 employees.
Note: To do this search, users will need access to the Premium D&B business file which allows you to search by additional fields of data
1. In your Businesses View, select the Businesses block towards the top-left.
2. Click on Use Advanced Search
3. Set the first dropdown in the panel to # of local employees
4. Enter 250 in the available box
5. Search
Click Done, and your report will generate!
That’s it for this week’s blog! We hope you enjoyed this write up. Please email us if you would like a free 30 day trial to the Premium D&B business file.
