18.1 Searching for Information

The Find screen allows you to easily search for information within the Inventory Control database. You
can limit your search to a specific

table

(Information you enter into each field in InventoryControl is stored

in a database "table" behind the scenes. You can extract this information using the Export Wizard.)

in the

database, field or even a value within a field on the Find screen.

Searching for Information:

1. From

the

Main screen, select the Find icon. A menu of tables from which to search appears.

2. Select what you want to search for by clicking on an option in the Find menu. In this example we

are going to search for Customers.

You can also access this screen by clicking the Filter button at the top of the List screens.

Note:
If the table you select (Customers, Manufacturers, Items, etc.) contains over 1000
pieces of data, you will automatically be taken to the Advanced Find screen. For further
information on the Advanced Find screen, please refer to the

Advanced Find

topic.

3. The

Find screen contains three fields:

Table is used to select the table you want to search.

Value is the information for which you are searching.

Selecting the Whole Word Only checkbox will search the selected table based upon the your
entire entry in the Value field. Partial matches will be excluded from the search results.
