Every screen in
the Membership Accounting System will provide standard options to access a record from the
database. These record access fields will always be in a pink color when the screen
is not in the edit mode. The user can enter the code in a code field to access the
specific record. A user can type a name or a portion of a name to access the record
or first record that matches the information entered. The record will be accessed
when the “Tab” or “Enter” key is tapped. It may be important to
set the order properly when typing a name so the “Next” and “Previous”
keys can be used to sequence through the data as entered. When entering a name or
portion of a name, if the system cannot match on the string of characters that were
entered, the incremental search will be activated at the closest matching point. The Incremental Search
button will allow the user to request a browse type list of the database file and position
at the record matching the characters in the field. The user will be positioned at
the top of the list in a field requesting the “Search For” information.
The string of characters entered in this field will be used to search the database file
and display a list of names starting from the first match when either the “Tab”
or “Enter” key have been tapped. The user can scroll through this list or
enter a new selection. Once the record desired is displayed, this record can be
accessed by highlighting and hitting “Enter” or double clicking on the name. |
