• If you specify criteria within a field on a Quick Search screen, then wish to
“undo” that criteria, simply click in the field and perform a Ctrl+Bksp key
combination twice in a row. This process returns the first field to its original
(gray) state.
• By performing a Ctrl+Bksp key combination once after clicking within a
field, the “C:Clear” field status message will appear. You may search for fields
containing C:Clear (having no data at all) by then using the = operator.
• Quick Search screens occasionally display a Recall button. Selecting this
button will automatically fill in the search criteria from the most recent use of
that Quick Search screen.
• Certain fields on Quick Search screens have default operators, which will
automatically become selected upon clicking in a field. You may then change
the search operator as needed.
• Wildcard searches (employing *, ?, and | symbols) may be performed on Text
fields. (See the following section, Wildcard Searching.)
• Certain fields are only accessible via particular choices within a Pick field.
You may have to first specify criteria within such a Pick field (such as
Instrument Type or Test Type) in order to access other fields on the Quick
Search screen.
• You may search for Test Results entered between two dates by using the Test
Date Start and Test Date End fields in conjunction with the >= and <=
operators, respectively. See Example 3.1.
