Search Library (F9)

The F9 key is used to search report requests in your personal library or the common library for a particular word, phrase or field.

 

To search, press the F9 key from the main menu.

At the Search menu, type the search string (1- 15 characters) and press the enter key.  Note:  If the search string contains a space, quotes are not needed.  For example:

 

|----------Search Personal Library---------|

|                                          |

|  ENTER SEARCH STRING:  new hire          |

|                                          |

While the system is searching the library, a message will display indicating the number of matching members found.   

 

|------Searching Personal Library-----|

|                                     |

|  MATCHING MEMBERS FOUND:  2         |
