New Search Options
In order to improve and expand our contact search, we have implemented a new feature 'Search Options' to the Home and Contacts form. This function allows you to specify the exact search details you wish to use. This will streamline the search process and stop any unnecessary searching of multiple search options.
For your convenience we have added different default search options, these include:
- Vega ID: Search for a contact by their Vega ID.
- Account Name: Search for a contact by their Account Name.
- First and Last Name: Search for a contact by both their First Name and Last Name.
- Last Name: Search for a contact by their Last Name.
- First Name: Search for a contact by their First Name.
- Email: Search for a contact by their Email Address.
The rest of the search options are contained in the Search Options drop-down button, these are:
- Phone: Search for a contact by their Mobile, Home, Main and Work Phones.
- Salutation: Search for a contact by their Salutation (Greet as).
- Address 1: Search for a contact by the first line of their Address.
- Address 2: Search for a contact by the second line of their Address.
