Auction Application Search Help

Search Results


After you click the SUBMIT button on an Application Search screen (basic or advanced), the system scans the database for any applications matching the search criteria, and lists the matching applications on the Search Results screen. The Search Results screen shows the file number, applicant name, applicant FCC Registration Number (FRN), upfront payment, application status, application type, and auction number for each application returned in the search. The top of the Search Results screen summarizes the search criteria you entered and indicates the total number of application records returned in the search.


How the Results Are Displayed

For both a basic and advanced search the system uses different sets of rules to arrange the results for display.

In a basic search, the system sorts the applications by Applicant Name, in ascending order. It shows up to 20 entries at a time.

In an advanced search, the system sorts the applications based on the field you selected on the Application Search screen's sorted by field. Furthermore, it arranges the entries in that column in either ascending or descending order, based on the setting of the Application Search screen's order field. It shows the number of entries you selected on the Application Search screen's matches per page field.


Viewing an Application
