Enter your search text and the search will be run in the background as you type and display the search results. See the Using the V4 Search Screens for details about all the options available in the version 4 Search feature.

 

Use the "Drag a column header here to group by that column" by dragging a column header to the bar and group your results by that column.

 

When you click the Configure button you will have a drop down menu listing Personal Configuration options and Local Default Configuration options. The Configure button will be hidden if the user does not have authorization to create a Personal Default configuration. See the Using the V4 Search Screens chapter Search Configuration Overview section for details about this feature.

 

Lots: If the currently selected item is a Lot based item the Lots button will be enabled. The button is disabled in the image below.

 

Keystroke Delay: The Keystroke Delay “slider” control in the top right corner of the search dialog allows you to control the delay between your keystrokes when searching. The delay is the amount of time that the system waits before applying a search term that you have typed.

 

Moving the slider toward the “Short” setting reduces the time that the system waits but this means that you have to type faster to stay ahead of the computer.

 

Moving the slider toward the “Long” setting means you are able to type more slowly but the system will take longer to respond to your input. This setting is “per user” and the same setting applies across all searches in the system for the user.

 

There are also separate settings for the “Classic” and “Server Mode” Search Styles in the Inventory Search Configuration Miscellaneous Settings tab that will also impact search speed. See the Using the V4 Search Screens chapter Search Configuration Overview section for more information about Search Styles.
