Search Form


Search criteria

Let's look at this topic using the example of the largest module - "Sales" . It should hold the most records as you will accumulate more and more sales every year. Therefore, unlike all other tables, when you enter this module, the ' data search ' form first appears.

Finding Sales Data

The heading of this form is specially made in bright orange color so that any user can immediately understand that he is not in the mode of adding or editing a record, but in the search mode, after which the data itself will appear.

It is the search that helps us display only the necessary sales, and not flip through thousands and tens of thousands of records. And what kind of records we need, we can show using search criteria. Now we see that the search can be carried out in three fields.

You can set a condition on several fields at the same time, for example, when you want to see the list of sales of a particular employee, starting from the beginning of a certain year.

Search criteria

The fields to be searched are marked with an exclamation point.

Important The selection of a value in the search field is carried out using the same input field that is used when adding a new record to this table. Look at the types of input fields .

Important When purchasing the maximum configuration of the program, it is possible to independently ProfessionalProfessional configure access rights , marking the fields by which you can search.

Search buttons

Buttons are located below the fields for entering search criteria.

Where is the search term visible?

Now let's press the button "Search" and then notice that in "window center" our search terms will be listed.

Displaying search terms

Each search term is marked with a large red arrow to draw attention to itself. Any user will understand that not all of the data in the current module is displayed, so you should not worry that they have disappeared somewhere. They will be displayed only if they meet the specified condition.

Change search term

If you click on any search term, the data search window will reappear. The field of the selected criterion will be highlighted. This way you can quickly change the value. For example, click on the criteria ' Sold '. Then, in the search window that appears, select another employee.

Changed search criteria

Now the search terms look like this.

You can not aim at a specific parameter to change the search condition, but click anywhere "areas" , which is highlighted for displaying search criteria.

Remove criteria

If we no longer need some criterion, you can easily remove it by clicking on the 'cross' next to the unnecessary search criterion.

Delete search term

Now we have one condition for data search.

There is only one search term left.

It is also possible to remove all search criteria by clicking on the 'cross' next to the initial caption.
