The Ledger Enquiry tool allows the definition of two enquiry screens for each of the applications, allowing <Page-Up> and <Page-Down> to move between the two screens.This release extends the enquiry options to four enquiry screens.

As before you use <Page-Up> and <Page-Down> to switch the display between enquiry screens.

Set to enable the third/fourth screen layouts as required.After enabling each screen the usual screen design options are displayed.

Screen Design is in the usual manner - To insert text labels use the mouse to position the cursor where required and then type the required text.To insert the data items position the cursor where required and press the <F4-Select> key and choose the data item required.Once the layout is complete choose the SAVE option on the ribbon.

Notes

The third and fourth screen options are only available when using the full screen enquiry tools and not the left/right list display.

Sales, Purchase and Job Costing enquiries allow a UPDATE action for amendment from within the enquiry, as opposed to actions that link to the standard application maintenance screens.As such the third and fourth screens will allow setting of whether data items are view-only, require upper case input or are mandatory input.Other enquires are view-only by nature.
