Query Forms

Most multiview forms have query forms associated with them. These query forms usually have the same name as the associated multiview form, appended with Query. You can use these query forms to help locate particular records that you are concerned with. You can then return the results of your query to the associated multiview form automatically.

Query forms typically consist of these components:

• The criteria selection box sets the criteria used to limit your search. This box contains two tabs:
  • The Primary Criteria tab is used for the most common search criteria. There are typically from two to four fields on this tab.
  • The Additional Criteria tab is used mostly to refine and narrow the search.
• Action buttons allow you to perform various actions in your search.
• The results grid displays the results of your query in tabular format. You can use the scroll bars to locate and select the record you are looking for.
