7.40. Use the Search BOL features

Here are some of the instructions to perform a search for a previously entered BOL in the system using the Search BOL's selection off the Main screen menu.

Click on the Search Menu, then Search BOL's.

Here you can view all the BOL's in the system for the selected Shipper.  You can narrow this down by selecting options sorting by the column headers such as Date as displayed.  Just click on the little arrow on the column header to sort up or down.

You can search also by clicking on the filter row and start keying in say the consignee that you want to see all the bills for that consignee as shown, then press enter and it will only show the bills for that consignee.

You can also search by dragging a column header into the grouping box as shown.  

Then click on the + plus sign next to a group to view the bills assigned to that selected group.

When you see the one you want, dbl-click to select it and it will be loaded to the main screen.

To put it back to not selecting by the group, drag it back to the displayed grid and it will no longer be grouped.

Each of the different columns can be selected, sorted, and grouped to help you find the one you are looking for.

You can also filter out a columns values if you wish.  Here is how to select a date range of bills for an example.

Key in the filter criteria to select only bills in that range and they will be displayed on the screen for selection as shown. Each column can be used in this to create a range of values to filter out.

You can also filter the records in the display by using the Wildcard character of '*' asterisk to reduce the number of records shown.
