- 'View' or Search Options:
- Overview
-
- This option gives you the ability to look at the Client file in any one of ì
- seven 'views' or search criteria:
-
- "1) Search by Company Name"
- "2) Search by First Name"
- "3) Search by Last Name"
- "4) Search by Phone Number"
- "5) View or search by Zip Code"
- "6) View or search by Category"
- "7) Search on Referred by"
-
-
- Once you select your 'view,' then all records are stacked or ordered in ì
- that sequence. If, for example, you select the last name 'view', then ì
- after you search and locate one record, all records before and after that ì
- one will be ordered alphabetically by last name.
-
- The logic of this option is similar to the one available in the 'Fast ì
- Search Through Data' Menu, (Main Program Menu, Option 6) Option 1:
- 'Lightning fast search through Client file'
-
- In the 'Lightning fast search,' you are displayed information quickly, but ì
- cannot move back and fourth between records that are adjacent to those that ì
- appear in your match. By contrast, in the 'View' or Search Options' you ì
- can move back and fourth among the records and observe, say, all phone ì
- numbers or zip codes that precede or follow a matched record.
-
- Search Procedure:
-
-
- Once you select any one of options 1 through 7, the menu will branch back ì
- to the prior screen and place the cursor in that field where you wish to do ì
- your search. Once a record is found, all records then will be stacked or ì
- ordered by that criteria.
-
- Whatever criteria you select here will cause one of the following messages ì
- to appear on the top to the Client Get screen that you just came from:
-
-
- "Company Name 'View', records in order by company name"
- "First Name 'View', records in order by first name"
- "Last Name 'View', records in order by last name"
- "Phone Number 'View', records in order by phone number"
- "Zip Code 'View', records in order by zip code"
- "Category 'View', records in order by category"
- "Referred by 'View', records in order of Referred by"
-
- As you enter 'N' for next or 'P' for previous, you will be moving back and ì
- fourth between adjacent records in that 'view.'
-
- è
- Turning Off the 'View' or Search Options:
-
-
- For some users, these seven search criteria present too many keystrokes for ì
- their search. If you wish to reduce the seven search options to one ì
- default option for Company name, then go to the Custom Options Menu and ì
- observe option G:
-
- "G) 7 choices in search criteria: Client Get"
-
- To reduce the number of choices from 7 to 1, select option 'G' to display:
-
- "[now Off]"
-
-
-
- Phonetical searching:
-
-
- If you elect any of these three 'views' and the program fails to find an ì
- exact match, then it attempts to find it phonetically:
-
-
- "Company Name 'View', records in order by company name"
- "First Name 'View', records in order by first name"
- "Last Name 'View', records in order by last name"
-
-
- After you have selected one of these three, the following message appears ì
- on the top of the search screen:
-
-
- == Alternate phonetical cross referencing in effect on Search.==
-
- If an exact match is not found then the program will perform a phonetical ì
- search, and display this text while doing so:
-
- "Searching for phonetical match"
-
- Let's say you are looking for 'ANNETTE' but cannot remember how it is ì
- entered. If you enter either 'ANETE' or 'AUNET' then the phonetical match ì
- displayed to you for either entry is 'ANNETTE'.
-
- Let's say further that you had entered 'WOLFGANG' but could not remember ì
- the spelling. The phonetical search will display 'WOLFGANG' if you enter ì
- either of these spellings: 'WULFFGUNG' or 'WOOLFGENG'.
