An administrator may also create and configure a custom display name object that displays multiple attributes in the feature name. Custom display name objects do not affect how the Display Field locator works. It will still search only the field shown on the locator user interface.

To perform an ArcFM Display Field search:

1. Select ArcFM Display Field from the Locator Tool field on the Locator Tool.
2. Select a feature class in the Search field.
3. Select the Show All Tables checkbox to expand your search to include all tables in your geodatabase.
4. Enter a search value in the next field. The label on this field indicates the primary display field. This attribute may vary depending on the feature class chosen in the search field. Each feature class may have a different primary display field.

   Using the ArcFM Display Field locator, you can incorporate database-specific wildcards to locate multiple features: enter % as a wildcard when using Oracle data and * when using Access data. This lets you search for all features in the selected layer or all features that have, for instance, VLV9 in the current Display Field. If you enter only a wildcard value without the Exact Match checkbox selected, the Locator will return all features including those with NULL values. If you enter only a wildcard value with the Exact Match checkbox selected, the Locator will return all features except those with a value of NULL.

5. Select the Exact Match checkbox to return only features that have the specific criteria entered. For example, with the checkbox selected FUS1 would return only FUS1. Without the checkbox selected it may return: FUS1, FUS11, FUS12, etc.
6. Click Find to execute the search.
7. Search results are displayed in the window below the search fields. If you want to modify how the search results are returned, click the Options button.
8. Click Clear to clear the primary display field value. This will not clear the found set.
