Element list detail on the left side

Serching data inside a list can be done in different ways. It allows to quickly find the desired item or a part of the archive. You can search for an item simply typing a few letters of its name; otherwise it is possible to scroll any item list with the arrow keys or the mouse wheel. Here below a detailed list of all the search features:

• Instant search.

The fastest way to quickly find an item is to type a few letters of its code. The program will instantly jump through the list items selecting the first one starting with the typed characters. The matching characters will be underlined in the item list entries. If none of the items withing the list will match the search criteria, an error sound will be heard. Pressing the will delete the current filter criteria.

NOTE:
Example: let's suppose we have to find code 59100 in the item list. Typing "5" the selected item in the list will be the first one starting with "5". Then typing "9" the selected item will be the first one containing the number "59". Repeating these steps until the end of the code will select the desired item.

• Page scroll

Using and keys will scroll the pages from the item list.

• Search filters

Most of Archive windows allow also users to search through items by category. Just below the window title you will find a set of filters to help you with the search criteria (In the example, System, Series and function are the available filters for that archive.

Scrollbars

The scrollbars next to the list item allow users to view all information not shown because of the small space on screen.

The bar (C) indicates the entire area that contains the information. The scroll buttons (A) can be used to show items upwards and downwards. An indicator (B) marks all time the current position inside the item list. The numbers (D) indicate how many items left are in the list if scrolling above or below.

Funzione copia/incolla

Questa funzione consente di effettuare il copia/incolla di un testo. Se, per esempio, avete inserito un indirizzo di un fornitore e questo vi serve anche in un altro quadro, vi posizionate con il cursore rosso in una parte qualsiasi nel testo da copiare e, quando questo lampeggia, battete il tasto e il tasto sulla tastiera, contemporaneamente; invece per incollare il testo dove desiderate usate il tasto con il tasto .

N.B: in alcune tastiere il tasto non ha la freccia rivolta verso l’alto, ma viene rappresentato così

Barra spaziatrice

Mediante la pressione di questo tasto è possibile attivare o disattivare le voci dall'elenco di un archivio. Infatti, selezionando il profilo e agendo sulla tastiera, si disattiva l’articolo dall’elenco, che continuerà a far parte dell’archivio ma sarà evitato dal programma in fase di ricerca, ad esempio durante l’inserimento o la modifica di una tipologia.

N.B: Una volta disattivato un elemento dalla lista, quest'ultimo sarà visualizzato con un colore differente. Per poterlo riattivare occorre selezionarlo e premere nuovamente la barra spaziatrice
