Searching Everywhere Anytime
March 2010. PestaRoo is unique among pest control software packages in that it lets you search nearly anywhere anytime. Wherever you are at, 1) Enter Find Mode (Control-F on Windows and Command-F on Macs) 2) Click into the field you are interested in. 3) Type the first few letters of what you want. 4) Press ‘Enter’ key. Wow! It is that easy. Each of these tasks are easy: finding every address with a certain street name; finding a customer for phone number on your caller ID; finding all customers whose balance due is the amount of a check you got in the mail with an unfamiliar name; finding all customers who have had no work in the last 12 months; or finding every customer with an email address. To learn how to search several fields at once, see our support article on ‘Finding Records’.
PestaRoo has another search function that is incredibly useful: the ability to search every note field in every record in every table at the same time. From Home Page click on “Search All Notes”. PestaRoo has about 15 different note fields that are very helpful in tracking data for your customers. For example, each work order has three different note fields: one that prints on the work order, one that prints only on the route sheet, and one that prints nowhere, but shows on your screen. There are similar sets of three fields in PreScheds, Invoices, and Locations. And there are several not fields in Customers. ”Search All Notes” was created to help you quickly search in ALL of these at one time. Once you use this function once, you’ll quickly use it routinely because of its amazing power.
PestaRoo’s searching ability is absolutely unmatched by any other program. More power and yet incredibly intuitive and easy.
