Data search

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.

  • 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 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.

Scrollbars

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