Pages open in Search mode. Users can return all available records or apply selection criteria to narrow down the search results. Select the Advanced Search page to save selection criteria for reuse.
The search function returns selected records on the Records page in Grid view. If the selected records cannot be displayed on a single page, page controls are added to display additional results pages. In Grid view, the user can edit, add or delete records, select which columns to display for the search results, change the sort order, or switch to Single Record display.
In Single Record display, required fields are marked with a red * (asterisk) and the field labels are bold.
Menu options in the page margin are different for Search mode or Record View. Refer to Page Menu Options for detailed information.
If you make edits while in Grid mode and then attempt to navigate to a different record without saving your edit, a warning message appears: To navigate through the grid, save/revert the updates to the current record. This warning message disappears if you save or revert the changes you made to the current record.
