Objects

Field	Description
Search By (Internal / Customer/ Supplier)	Use the dropdown list to specify whether you want to search for an Internal, Customer, or Supplier part number and enter a partial or full part number in the field next to that dropdown list. Mandatory. As you type a part number, a dropdown list suggests part numbers that match the entered string. If ... is displayed at the bottom of the list, this indicates that more matching part numbers are available. When the entry ... is selected, a component search with the currently entered part number string combined with other defined search criteria is performed. You can use the following characters to restrict the part numbers returned in the search results: * (star symbol) Represents any number of characters when used in a string. For example, entering C-00*E represents values that start C-00, followed at any position by an E. Example results are C-002-BLUE,C-003-GREEN, C-004-GREY, C-005-RED. ? (question mark character) Represents any single character when used in a string. For example, entering A??X (an A, two question marks and an X) into a field represents only 4-character values that have an A as their first character and an X as their fourth character. Example results are ABCX, A11X, ABCXAB. Single letter Entering a single letter into the field, returns only part numbers that begin with that letter. For example, typing the character C into a box will list only that box's records that begin with C, regardless of their length.
