The 2 Screen Model - Part 1 - The Search Screen

nuBuilder uses only two screens to do everything.

The Search Screen is used to...
  • Sort - By clicking a column heading.

Sorting helps you find the oldest date or the first invoice number etc. Clicking once sorts in descending order, clicking again sorts in ascending order.

  • Filter - By typing a string into the Search field.

Filtering can be done on any part of a word eg tch will find watch us grow.

It could also by be found by using wa gr, as leaving a space between strings will make the search look for each string.

Preceeding a string with a hyphen will exclude a string eg. -us.

Surrounding a string with quotes will allow for a phrase to be filtered eg. "h us g".

  • Select - By clicking a highlighted row.

Simply clicking a highlighted row will either take you to an edit screen or select a record for a lookup object.

  • Add - By clicking the Add button.

Clicking a highlighted row will take you to an edit screen of an empty record.
