The searching method for this window is defined by the User Preference window. Exact matching, left matching, or embedded matching schemes are available. Once a search is initiated, any matching job's location (on which machine it is scheduled), its product name and job name are displayed.
A job or work order can be found by initiating a search. Four different fields may be used in the search -- Only one field is required.
To initiate a search:
| · | Select a field to search on from the drop down list.
|
| · | Enter a search string.
|
| · | Click on the Search button.
|
| · | A list of jobs that match the given key(s) appears.
|
| · | Select from the list by clicking on a job.
|
| · | Click on the OK button.

How a search is performed depends upon the searching method defined on the User Preference window. Searching methods can be left matching, embedded matching, exact matching, and case sensitive. If left matching has been designated on the User Preference window, then entering the word 'poly' (if material was chosen as the search criteria) would find jobs that use 'polypropylene' and 'polyurethane'. If embedded matching is designated, then entering the word '285' would find jobs using 'polyurethane 285 Black' and 'Acrylic V285-100 Clear'. Exact matching means that searching for 'polypropylene' would only find jobs using 'polypropylene'.
