Powerful tools
for data finding and filtering |
The most important feature of an
information manager, after populating it with
information, is being able to find what we are looking
for easily and fast. One of the most remarkable features

filtering the information. You will be able to find
records containing some text in any field, or records
modified during the last week using the following tools:

records containing some text in the description field.
As you enter characters in the edit box the program
shows all the records matching the entered text. |
