V8 - Global search
The Task bar's Global search feature enables searching all lists in SOS Inventory for a specific item, customer, vendor, or transaction record.

tips_and_updatesEXAMPLE: Entering 5177 (without quotes) will find anything with 5177 in the name or record identifier. But if po 5177 is entered (without quotes), SOS Inventory would look for purchase order 5177 only. In this case, the system would go directly to the appropriate list page.
