Miscellaneous > Finding Items in the Managers and Lists

To quickly find an item in any Manager or List:

1.	Highlight the column that you want to search by.

2.	Press the F4 function key or Ctrl-F keys.

3.	Check the Interior Pattern Match checkbox if you want to perform a partial match based on any part of the word searched for. Uncheck it if you want to search from the beginning of the word.

4.	Type in all or part of what you are searching for in the Look For box.

5.	Press the Enter key or the Ok button.

6.	If only one item appears in the list and it is the item you are searching for, press the Enter key to select the item.

7.	If more than one item appears in the search list, press the up and down arrow keys to select the item you want and then press the Enter key.

8.	RetailEdge will then find the item by the Look For criteria and sort the Manager list by the column chosen.

Find By Criteria

When you select a row in the Manager or List, RetailEdge will highlight the entire row and the column where the cursor was clicked will have a reverse highlighting (typically white). By default the Find screen, will be displayed with the Find By box set to this column. The exception is the Sales Manager.

Sales Manager Searches

Search Find by criteria is saved from the last search and is limited to Ticket Number, Customer ID, Customer Last Name, First Name or Company. Sales Manager searches by customer criteria will find all sales for a particular customer regardless of date. When the particular sales ticket is selected, the sales manager will automatically be redisplayed for the particular date on which the ticket was sold.

Interior Pattern Matches

RetailEdge searches will find the first item with your desired text (from the beginning of the word) and then re-sort the list by selected column. The search can also be set to perform an Interior Pattern Match and find partial matches that are not the first part of the text you are searching for. Interior Pattern Match searches will be slower.
