Users can structure their search criteria by either entering a word, a partial word or a series of words identified by the "+" sign which means include or the "-" sign which means exclude. ( Example: "Patient +e-mail" will list all items with Patient, Patients, e-mail or e-mails but not items containing email or emails).
The created search is displayed at the bottom of the grid allowing a user to activate or deactivate a search. Select the check mark to activate or not the listed search. The Customize button permits user to review and change a filter. To remove a filter, select the X icon.
IMPORTANT:
The search in the grid will only search the items loaded in the grid. Therefore if you first selected a sub-category causing items to not be included in the grid display, the find will only be searching in that sub-category. To search for all items in the record set, for example, searching for reports you must first select to display all the reports before you do your search. Note: some data sets can be extremely large and may take several minutes to load onto the grid in your computer ( for example displaying 100,000 Patients or Invoices in a grid will require your PC to download and display these items in the grid (it can take a several minutes based on the speed of your computer).
