Searching is the process of FINDING A SINGLE RECORD THAT MATCHES THE CRITERIA. Below you will find details about Searching. Scroll down to watch the videos.
How to Search
Searches begin in one of two places in Aspen:
1. Most commonly, a search term is entered into the input box on the menu bar.
2. A different search option can also be initiated by clicking the icon in the centre of the Navigation Bar.
Notes about Searching using the menu bar:
1. Aspen will search for matches in the SORTED COLUMN. To change the search column, click the header for the field you wish search. The sorted column is identified with a small triangle. The input box will also show the name of the field that will be searched.
2 Since Aspen divides the data set into pages, the record that is found may not be visible on the screen. Uses may have to scroll down to see the selected record.
NOTE: Change your preferences to eliminate this problem.
3. Aspen will select the FIRST RECORD that matches the criteria or, if no match is found, the RECORD that immediately preceeds the place where the search term would be in the data set. As shown below, this may not be a close match to the search term.
