Go to Dynamics: ahima.crm.dynamics.com and log in to Dynamics using your AHIMA credentials. Select one of the apps accordingly (e.g. AHIMA-Sales, AHIMA-AMS).

To locate a specific item when you can't remember exactly how it is spelled, try using a wildcard character in a query.

Wildcards are special characters that can stand in for unknown characters in a text value and are handy for locating multiple items with similar, but not identical data. Wildcards can also help with getting data based on a specified pattern match. Use wild card characters in the search box.

Here are some examples of wildcard characters:

Character	Description	Example
*	Matches any number of characters. You can use the asterisk (*) anywhere in a character string.	wh* finds what, white, and why, but not awhile or watch.
?	Matches a single alphabet in a specific position.	b?ll finds ball, bell, and bill.
[ ]	Matches characters within the brackets.	b[ae]ll finds ball and bell, but not bill.
!	Excludes characters inside the brackets.	b[!ae]ll finds bill and bull, but not ball or bell. *Like “[!a]”** finds all items that do not begin with the letter a.
-	Matches a range of characters. Remember to specify the characters in ascending order (A to Z, not Z to A).	b[a-c]d finds bad, bbd, and bcd.
#	Matches any single numeric character.	1#3 finds 103, 113, and 123.
