report before printing.

This screen has many options:


- minimize the screen in order to see the entire report lengthwise and widthwise.

- screen size - fit the report into the whole screen.

- expand the report to the maximum width of the screen.

- go to the first page.

- previous page.

Searching for a record in a table

To search for a record by active index (code/name) press <F8> or select Search from
the Table sub-menu (Figure 1.8).
You can also do this by clicking on the icon on the toolbar.

Figure 1.8 - Searching for a Record (by name)

You can search for a record by name or by code depending on the index selected by
pressing the buttons:
[A..Z] - by name (description).
[0. . 9] - by code (numeric).

- If the index is a code the search will be by code (numeric)


- If the index is a name the search will be by name (alphanumeric).

Enter the search string into the search box (Code or Name) .

N. B. If you are searching by name make sure to use the appropriate language (En =
English / He = Hebrew).

The cursor will position itself on the first matching record.


8
Filter screen

To obtain a cross-section of data from a table by part or all of a name press <F9> or
select Filter from the Table sub- menu (Figure 1.9).
You can also do this by clicking on the icon on the toolbar.

Figure 1.9 - Filtering by Name

This filter represents another way of locating a record in a table.

It is useful because it allows you to locate a record string by all or part of a name
(beginning, middle or end). This is very helpful when you are not sure of the name's
exact spelling.
The drawback is that the search is very slow in large tables.

Remember! You can only use Filter when a table is indexed by name (and not by code).

Enter the name (in full or in part) in the search box (name only).

N. B. If you are searching by name make sure to use the appropriate language (En =
English / He = Hebrew).

Only the records whose names contain the name you keyed in will be displayed in
the table.
