Quick search in gFM-Business
In all list views, there is a search field at the top right of the screen in the toolbar labeled [Quick search]. If any search term is entered in the search field, gFM-Business searches for the entered search term almost in real time. All relevant information can be used as a search term. In the Customers module, for example, you can search for the customer number, name, street, zip code, city or even the name of a clerk who has been entered for support or acquisition. In contrast to the search mode in the form view, the search mode does not have to be activated beforehand for the quick search in a list view.
Remove search term from search field
The search field for the quick search has a button on the right-hand side that can be used to undo the current search. After clicking on the gray button, the search term in the search field is removed and all data records in the active database are called up.
