The fields in the Find Boxes, at the top of the List Screens (Books screen, Clients screen, etc.) are Search-As-You-Type fields.
As you type information into these fields, HomeBase 2 matches any entered information and displays a list of matches in the lower part of the screen. For example, if you are searching for a client whose name is Fred Smith, go to the Find Client Box (at the top of the Clients Screen) and begin by typing the letter ‘F’ in the Name field. The Client List Screen displays all the clients in your database whose names begin with ‘F’. With each character that you type, the list narrows (All clients whose names begin with ‘Fr", then all clients beginning with ‘Fre’).
Depending on the contents of your database, you may only need to type a few characters in order to find the desired client, book, want or invoice.
