Searching for items in the list

When standards or processes are displayed in the list, you can reduce the number of items displayed for selection.

To do so, enter any portion of the item's name into the Search box. You can search on all values from the Part Number column. You cannot search on any values from the second column (Description or Process).

As you type, GainSeeker will automatically hide from the list any unselected items that do not contain the text you have entered. If you have already selected one or more items on the list before using the search, those items will remain displayed and selected on the list, even if they do not contain the search text you have entered. If you used the Fill list button to display standards that met particular search criteria, then GainSeeker will only look for the Search text you entered within those standards that met the criteria for filling the list.

If desired, you may select one or more standards displayed on the list before performing another search or using the Fill list button (if available).

To return to the list of items that met the Fill list criteria, remove all text from the Search box.
