Question

Answer

Where is the Find Box for searching information in the grid (Account List, iXpert, Task Management, etc.)

If the Find Box is not shown at the top of a grid, hold down the Ctrl key, then press the F key and release both keys.  The Find Box should be shown.

How can I quickly access an application without clicking the APPLICATIONS ribbon tab, then searching for my application?

Users can create a custom toolbar known as the Quick Access Toolbar, which is shown directly above the Application tabs.  For any Application Icon shown in the ribbon, right-click and select "Add to Quick Access Toolbar."  The icon will be added to your custom toolbar and remain each time VMS is ran.

Why does a grid not show all of the data?

The Filter tool FilterIcon1711v2 allows the user to create custom filters to manage the information within a grid.  It is common for users to create filters, then click the Set Default button, which makes the defined parameters the standard filter whenever the application is accessed in the future, regardless of the property selected.  See the Filter Tool section | Removing a Default Filter to know how to clear the default definition.
