In the Procedure Or Result Search dialog, find
and highlight the applicable procedure or result you want to include in

If there is a procedure or result that is not available you can Add

to enter a result range, when
a Result is selected, so that if the results falls within the range it
will become highlighted, allowing you to easily view this information.
