Searching without clicking the button in a search field
- Text + Tab is for exact search - looks for exactly what you have entered

- For example - in the Article screen typing "Book" then using Shift+F3 will search both Article number and also description and result in a list of possible results.
Working with Grids
A grid is a table of information in the system with rows and columns there are two types of grids - a Normal Grid and and Editable Grid
Many fields in a grid have a right click option - sometimes a whole row has a right click option
For options over the whole grid
- Some grids have colours to differentiate records
- Select on a row in the grid will often provide a right click to navigate or do an action
If you do filter the grid - the search is only searching the data in the grid (not all data relating to the records).
- For example - employee screen
