Retrieving a list of records
If you do not know a company's name, or if you want to look up records that match specific restrictions, click Search to the right of the Search field. The system displays a Quick Search window with four tabs, each of which you can use to enter search criteria.
Note: This window is a variation of the Scroll Companies window, which you can access in the Activity Detail window.
For details on the search criteria on the Quick Search window and the Scroll Companies window, see Using restrictions to look up companies.
The Database Table section of the window applies only if you are using the Company Work table feature. You use it to specify whether you want to retrieve records for actual companies, work companies, or both. For details on the feature, see Setting up a Company Work table.
 
After you enter restrictions, do one of the following:
To retrieve records that match your restrictions, click Find.
If matching records exist, the Quick Search window closes, and the system lists the records under the Search field.
If there are no matches, all fields are removed from the Quick Search window and you will see a message indicating that no records could be found.

Click OK to close the message. Then click Reset to return the window to its usual state.
Note: The Quick Search window remains open until it finds matching records, or you use Close to exit. While the window is open, it cannot be moved.
If you decide to change all of your restrictions, click Reset.
Entries on all tabs are cleared.
To close the window without retrieving records, click Close.
