How to Customize your Search Windows:

For each search window, the following options will be available under the Manage Search section of a toolbar:

Set Current Search Filter as Default

By default, Name is the selected filter used to search for any ServicePRO object.

If your preference is to search by a different filter, you can select this via the Search drop-down. In the example below, Email Address can be selected as the preferred search filter when searching for a user. If you would like future searches to begin with this filter instead of Name, then click on the Set Current Search Filter as Default button. In the future, the default search filter your selection will be the default search filter of Name.

Restore Default Search Filter If you have specified a different search filter as your default for this search window, you can restore it to name by selecting the Restore System Default Search Filter option.

• Telephone
• Extension
• Fax

To remove or add user properties to appear for future searches, click on the Customize Search Display Properties option and the following window will appear: Select or de-select the properties you want to see for future user searches.

If you wish to add other options, check the option under the display column.
