Reverting Requests


This command lets you correct entries while you're creating a Find request. It does not return you to where you were before you performed a Find. But it will let you start fresh on building the current Find requestno matter how many fields you've already filled in within that request.

To revert a request

1.

You must be in Find mode, filling out a Find request. When you make a mistake, choose Requests > Revert Request (Figure 5.28).

Figure 5.28. If you make a mistake in creating a Find request, choose Requests > Revert Request.


2.

When the warning dialog box appears, click Revert (Figure 5.29). All the fields within that Find request become blank, allowing you to start fresh.

Figure 5.29. Choosing Requests > Revert Request triggers an alert dialog box. Click Revert to correct a mistake or Cancel to leave things as they are.


To find all records

  • If you are in Browse mode, choose Records > Show All Records (left, Figure 5.30). If you're in Find mode, choose Requests > Show All Records (right, Figure 5.30). The keyboard command is the same in either mode: (Windows) or (Mac).
