By default, Virtual Ticket Developer will automatically display search results for both documents and digital resources by form. In the structure of the Find window, this means that each result record (each document or digital resource retrieved by the Find) will be displayed in the Documents listing along the left side of the window. Selecting any of these individual records will display the record information in the right hand side of the window (using the form on which the search was based).
Viewing search results by form
1. Create or select a Find from the Tools menu, specify the search criteria, and click SEARCH. This will instruct Virtual Ticket Developer to retrieve the results from the database and display them in the Find window.
2. Select the record you want to view from the Documents listing along the left side of the window. The information for this record will automatically appear in the right hand portion of the window, in the form on which the Find was based.
NOTE: Double-clicking a record in the Documents listing will open a new Browser window and instruct Virtual Ticket Developer to display the record in the window, in the form on which the search was based.
3. OPTIONAL: Select PRINT from the file menu to print the selected record. A standard print dialog box will appear, allowing you to complete the print process by specifying the appropriate printing options. For more information on printing options, please refer to the “Printing Options” section in the “Folders, Documents & Forms” section of this guide.
NOTE: Multiple records may be printed simultaneously by selecting each record while pressing the Shift key, and then selecting Print in the File menu.
4. OPTIONAL: To export the results of the search, select Export from the File menu, indicate the format of the resulting text file, and click OK. A standard save dialog box will appear, allowing you to specify the appropriate location and name of the text file that will be generated.
In addition to viewing the results by form, Virtual Ticket Developer also allows you to view the results in a list. Viewing results by list is an efficient method for viewing the search results’ information in a spreadsheet-like format (with columns of information listed for each record).
Viewing search results by list
1. Create or select a Find from the Tools menu, specify the search criteria, and click SEARCH. This will instruct Virtual Ticket Developer to retrieve the results from the database and display them in the Find window.
2. Click the Documents List View button( 
). This button displays the results of the Find as a list. When selected, the search results will appear in the Find window in a spreadsheet-like format.
3. OPTIONAL: Click the appropriate column headings to sort the results by that column.
4. OPTIONAL: Select Print from the File menu to print the grid. A standard print dialog box will appear, allowing you to complete the print process by specifying the appropriate printing options. For more information on printing options, please refer to the “Printing Options” section in the “Folders, Documents, and Forms” chapter of this guide.
5. OPTIONAL: To export the results of the search, click the Export Data button ( 
). A standard save dialog box will appear, allowing you to specify the appropriate location and name of the text file that will be generated.
At any time during your searching activities, you may view thumbnails of the digital resources associated with the records on which you are searching. This allows you to view the digital assets associated with a list of jobs, customers, change orders, etc. retrieved by your search.
1. Create or select a Find from the Tools menu, specify the search criteria, and click SEARCH. This will instruct Virtual Ticket Developer to retrieve the results from the database and display them in the Find window.
2. Click the Digital Resources tab. This will toggle the Find window from displaying documents (either by form or by list) to displaying the thumbnail images of the digital resources associated with those documents.
The Digital Resources folder tab operates like a file collector field on a Virtual Ticket Developer form, allowing you to use the File Tool, File Cabinet Tool, View Tool, and Database Tool to manipulate digital resources. For more information on working with digital resources, please consult the “Working with Digital Resources” chapter of this guide.
