Search

Searching is used to filter and group objects. The results are shown in a table. If searching is possible on the page, a search box is displayed in the upper part of the working area. An example of this can be seen in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Search box
The search box consists of entry fields and drop-down menus. Enter the terms you want to search for in the entry fields. The entry fields adjust to the type of objects to be filtered. For products there are product specific fields, for customers there are customer specific fields, and so on.
You can use the placeholder * in the text fields for portions of the search text you do not wish to enter or cannot enter. Capitalisation is not considered. The system searches for character strings in which the search text appears, regardless of where it is in the target text.
When searching for certain information, you can also use time and date as a search criterion. Date and time information must be entered in the format of the administration language used. To select a date use the icon. See also Date entry fields, below.
The search fields are connected using logical AND. In other words, a record must meet all the criteria defined by the entries in the search fields and not just one of them.
Use the following buttons to activate various functions:

If you select the advanced search option, further fields relevant to the object are added to the search box. Using this you can refine the search further.

Using the drop-down menu Display per Page you can set how many rows are displayed on each page in the table.
Specific search details will be discussed in the relevant chapters.
