Modules - References

Select the Modules icon to set Preferences for each module. There is one screen for each of the five modules. Access the module screens by clicking on the module name in the module tray.

Default Search Field

To help make searching easier, pre-set the module's search parameter with the most commonly used search field. In the Default Search Field simply select the desired field in which to search by from the drop-down list. Close the Preferences Screen and the default selection will save. Open the desired module and note the Default Search Field now appears just below the Search field window. Users may exchange the default search parameter for any desired search field parameter directly in the module's Search field when needed.
