search provides a powerful searching tool.Every search window displays records by the last used search pattern. Each search window has a drop down list to change the order of search. This selected option will then be the order of that specific data when the search window is next activated. Select the order option and the refreshed, resorted data will be displayed.
The power of using a search window is in making full use of the criteria. A grid in the search window enables complex
search criteria to filter record selection.
Multiple criteria can be inserted and toggling between & and
0 indicator will switch the search between ‘and’ and
‘or’. These in conjunction with the search provides a powerful searching tool.
