Query

There are two ways to search for specimen in a collection, predefined queries and a search with query fields. The query fields are displayed in the main form beneath the list of the items. You can change this arrangement using the  /  button to place the query fields on the left side of the item list as shown in the images below.

     

To search for specimen, enter the restrictions in the fields for the search conditions and click on the  button. The specimen found in the database will be shown in the specimen list. To add specimen with differing search conditions click on the  button. If you want to remove entries from the selected list, choose them and click on the  button. This will not delete the data from the database, but remove them from your query result.

The option to provide a result list with many columns is described in chapter Many result columns.
