 Searching for Open Items

Use

If you want to edit a large number of open items, you can search for individual items.

Features

You can search for open items by placing the cursor on the column of the list and selecting the function Find . In a dialog box you can specify the values or value intervals that you are looking for. You can also conduct a generic search by marking individual values with *.

The items meeting a search criterion are then placed at the top of the list. An optical division of items that do not meet the selection is made by the comments line End of Search Area.

You can also carry out a more detailed search in several stages. Items meeting the second search criterion again appear at the top of the list. This area finishes with the comments line End of Search Area 2 . Items that only meet the first search criterion then appear, followed by the comments line End of Search Area 1 .

In the individual search areas you can sort data independently of other search areas.

Activities

If you are editing open items, choose the icons Find or Refine search in the system function bar.
