Retrieving Collections

A large part of the work you do in this system probably involves locating the right records you need to work with. The system provides at least two ways of helping you retrieve just the right collections you need:

To return records that match specified criteria in one or more fields, use Filter-in-Place.

For more information, see Finding Records with Filter-in-Place.

To specify search criteria and return selected records to a parent multiview form, use query forms.

For more information, see Finding Records Using a Query Form.

In performing these searches, you can usually use filters, wildcard characters, and specify records to return if a certain field is empty (null). For more information, see Understanding Filters, Using Wildcard Characters, or Using the Null Keyword.

You can also limit or expand the number of records that a particular search can return. For more information, see About Caps.
