Working with your inventory

You will need to navigate various list and forms in order to work effectively with you inventory. Forms are viewed by either double clicking on a record in a list, or by using a button. You can also right click and use the popup menu.

All list are viewed from either the Menu bar, toolbar buttons or buttons within a form or list. Some forms have buttons that will call other list so you can fill in data automatically on the form you are working with. You will see that much of what has to be entered can be accomplished by clicking buttons and selecting data from a list. 

Lists

Lists contain rows of records. Most lists have "Tabs" that are used to sort the list in various ways. You can then scroll to a record in a list by typing the 1st few characters of the name by which the list was sorted. This is called Auto Scrolling.

You can also Advance Search from most lists. Some less detailed lists contain a simple text search called Find-it!

Inventory lists also have features that will let you Tag records and print those tagged records as well in some cases Export the tagged records . You can also Archive old items you no longer own as well as create claim and loss reports for insurance purpose.

Forms are data entry windows that allow you to enter records into the various databases. The most used form will be the Item data form. It is the form that you will use to create and maintain your inventory on the items you own. To learn more about forms in general see "Using Forms in general" .
