Search:

To complete the search in the inventory please locate the "search" on the left upper side of the inventory screen. The top line allows you to type item ID # (if it’s available). Or you can select the following search parameters:

Select “Type” (Sensor, Devices, Software….)
Select "Manufactures".
Select “Location” where you want to search.
Select “Order By” to organize your search.

Press Search button to complete the search or add additional search fields below.
Each search can be “Saved as” a separate tab to keep this search on the screen and complete another one. This function does not save the search results to the HD.

The following search operators can be used when typing your search criteria:
“=”, “IN”, “BETWEEN”, “ISNULL”, “NOTNULL”, “LIKE”, “>”, “<”.

Depending on the search field type, the search operators can be different.
- Operator “IN” allows selecting multiple records where field value is exact match of
one of specified comma-delimited values.
- Operator “BETWEEN” allows selecting records where field value is between two specified comma-delimited values.
- Operators “ISNULL” or “NOTNULL” allow searching on fields that are/aren’t empty.
- Operator “LIKE” allows selecting rows that contain specified string.

If you don’t specify operator or use operator “=”, this means you are searching for exact match. This operator can be used with any field type.

The results will appear in different colors:

For sensors for example:
-Red is for the sensors with expired calibration cycle;
-Olive is for ones which 30 days or less before expiration,
-Blue is for sensors which have 30 or more days before end of calibration cycle.

If you click on any number in the MTGID column, the new window will open. In this window you will see information about the item you selected.
The tabs on the top of this window allow you to view "logs" - historical records about this item written by users and documents - usually the manuals and calibration sheets.
