Using the Find Tool: Recipes and Products

You may want to know exactly how many of your products use a certain ingredient, or how many different products use a base recipe. While you could comb through your database and make your own list, we have a quicker and simpler solution.

FlexiBake includes a Find tool, which allows you to search through your database by product, recipe or raw material, as well as allergen-containing/non-containing and raw material category filters.

To use the Find tool with Recipes and products:

In the Menu Bar, click Find
A new window will open on your screen. Click on the Search For Recipes and Products tab.
The following steps are optional for refining your search:
- If you want to limit your search by allergen, select your desired option from the Limit to ingredients that contain drop-down menu.
- If you would like to limit the list of Raw Materials to a raw material category, select the desired category from the Raw Material Category drop-down.
Select the items you would like to search by ticking the box to the left of the item name.
- If you would like to see which recipes and products use a specific raw material, select that raw material from the Raw Materials list on the left.
- If you would like to see what ingredients go into a recipe and/or which products contain that recipe, select it from the Recipes List in the centre.
- If you would like to see the ingredients and recipes used to make a specific product, select it from the Products list on the right.
Apply your search criteria by clicking Find in the top right.
Items related those you selected will now have a filled tick-box.
In the right side of the window, tick the box labelled Limit to selected items only, This option will hide all items which do not contain/do not use the entries you have selected. This step is optional, but highly recommended.
To reset the screen for a new search, click Clear in the top right.
