Inquiries always begin with a table view that displays the list of records. One of the primary functions of an inquiry is to provide a progression of information which gives you quick access to different records. Because views control the presentation of information, separate views designed for a specific type of information are used for each level of detail.

Viewing inquiries:

  1. View the information displayed in the columnar default table view.
  2. If you want to add conditions to the default table view, click Conditions.
  3. If you want to change the default view, click Change View and select a different view from a list or select a view from the drop-down in the toolbar.
  4. If you want to view more detailed information about the current record in the table view, click Form view.
  5. Click Table View to return to the default table view.
  6. To locate a specific record in the table view, click Go to and enter the name of the record you want to locate.
  7. To exit the inquiry, click Close.

Follow the steps below to see where information in a column is being retrieved:

  4. Click Select (ALT+S) or click on any column heading.
