Find allows you to easily search for information within the database.
1.To access the Find screen, from the Main screen, click Management > Find > Simple Find. The Find screen appears:

2.The Find screen contains three fields by which you can search for information:
•Table is used to select the table (information you enter into each field in Rosistem Assets is stored in a database "table" behind the scenes. You can extract this information using the Export Wizard.) in the database you want to search. Make a selection from the drop down list.
•Field is used to select the field in the listed table to be searched. All fields found in the selected table will appear in the drop down list. Make a selection from the drop down list.
•Value is the information contained in the field (For example, Printer might be the value in the Asset Type field). Type in the information for which you are looking, or click the Magnifying Glass button to the right of the field to search all values contained in the selected Field. You can also scan a value into this field.
For example, if you want to search for an customer by his or her Name but cannot recall the spelling of the name, select Customer in the Table field and Name in the Field field, then select the Magnifying Glass button. A screen will appear displaying all values in the Description field (see example below):

Highlight the desired listing and click Select. The Find screen will populate with your selection as shown below:

Enabling the Whole Word Only option will search the selected table based upon the entire string in the value field excluding partial matches. If this checkbox is not selected, the system will return partial matches, meaning if you enter Printer in the Value field, the search would return Printer, Print, Printers, Printed, etc.
Enabling the Find All option disables the Field and Value fields and will return all of the records from the table selected in Search.
3.Click the Find button to start the search process. When complete, a list will be displayed showing all the records that match your criteria.
All searches are case insensitive.
Your last Find criteria are saved and will automatically be loaded the next time you access Find.
