This screen, in its default form, prompts for your search criteria (by customer name), and then it will display all matching customers for the screen location. If you know the first letter of the customer's name, type it in the field and press Enter to display a list of customers whose first names start with that letter. The list continues with customers whose names start with the subsequent letters of the alphabet.
If you want to search for customers by criteria other than just name, press F8-String Search. Enter your search string and choose the customer record element (such as address, city, phone, driver's license number, and so on) by which you want to search. If you choose to search by customer name after pressing F8, and you enter the letter H, the resulting list of customers will be all customers with the letter H anywhere in their name. For example, you would see not only Baker Hardware and Hillcrest Electric, but you would also see Sherwood Construction.
After you obtain a list of customers, use the options at the top of the screen to select the customer for a transaction; display the customer for inquiry; review the rental contracts associated with the customer; and so on.
