Filter the records of the active module using the following criteria: The search word or
string you enter, a field you specify (or all the active module records if you leave “
Any
fiel
d”), and category.
Figure 4-2: The search facility
For example: Typing “Smith” in the
Find
box and selecting
Name
in the field combo box
finds all the records in the active module that have the string “Smith” in their
Name
field.
You can perform the search on the entire module records list by selecting
Any field
.
The search tries to match the requested string to sub-strings in the database. For example, if
you typed in “Jo” in the
Find
field, the search will show results with all records that include
the string “Jo”, such as “Johnson”, “Jonah” and even “Banjo”.( case insensitive)
Category
: When you scan in a card, you have the option of attaching categories it to, see
Categories, page 29
. Categories allow you to search for cards in certain categories, e.g.,
VIP customers, business associates, etc. Categories can also be added later while editing
records.
