Specifying the default field for the Find Companies scroll window
If you frequently look up companies by a particular field in the Find Companies scroll window, you can use the [Misc]CompanyScrollStartField
setting in your TTS50 file to make the look up process faster. This setting allows you to designate the default field in which the cursor will be located whenever you select the Tools > Find Companies command.
For power users, you can start a new order, with the cursor in the order header’s From field, use the CTRL+C hotkey combination to display the Find Companies scroll window, and have the cursor in the field you use most often to look up a company. This eliminates navigating the Tools menu, selecting the appropriate tab if the field you use is not on the Quick Find tab, and tabbing to the desired field.
