Search for something in a list |
Type the first letters of the first column in the list. |
|
If you want to search a list for any word, type * (asterisk) before you type the word you are looking for. You will be taken to the first record that contains the word you have typed. |
|
On some lists you can change the width of columns to show/hide information. To check whether you can resize the columns, move the mouse over the vertical column border. If the mouse cursor changes to a vertical line with arrows on either side, click on the vertical border and drag it to the desired position. |
Data Entry
In many cases you will be required to enter date and/or time information within the BookingCenter program (e.g. when entering a booking). You should ensure that the correct date and time are set on your PC or Macintosh using the Date & Time Control Panel. You may use the European or American method of entering dates. To conform with Y2K standards you should enter the year component of a date in its full four digit format whenever you are required to enter date information. Invalid dates will not be accepted by a date field. If you enter an invalid date such as 310699 which is 31st June 1999 you will not be able to [Tab] out of that field until you do enter a valid date. Similarly if the current month was June and you entered 31 into the date field the cursor would remain in that field until a valid date was entered. The following are all valid date entry formats in BookingCenter:
