Using enhanced search

To use the enhanced search tool, click Search records in the top right corner of the application window.

When you click Search records, the Search Records window is shown. The blank Search Records window has a single search field.

When you start typing in the search field, records that match the search terms are shown below it. The enhanced search tool uses a fuzzy search, and not all fields in all records are included in the search. You can improve your search results by entering more information in the search field.

The search results are grouped into categories. The first category, Menus, includes menu items that match the search terms, such as the Create Work Order form.

Note: You can also use form codes to open pages from the Search Records window. When you specify a form code in the search field, the matching page is shown under .

The categories after Menus group the search results based on the record types, such as assets, employees, service requests, and building permits. You can click an item in the results list to open it, or you can use the buttons in the Search Records window to work with the search results.

This table describes the buttons in the Search Records window.
