NEOSYS Name Search

NEOSYS has a feature called Name Search which is used quite frequently by everybody on many fields. It does the same thing as autofill/autodropdown, although in a slightly slower sense, from long before those concepts became popular in modern user interfaces.

It is a powerful feature when it comes to searching Data in huge Lists. For instance in a long list with many records, it becomes difficult for a user to look for a particular record among the hundreds listed. Using this feature they just need to type a keyword and all the records with that keyword in their names will get listed e.g To list brands under the Client "AL Nabooda Automobile", just type "Nabooda" and all the Brands under it will get listed.

It is an extremely important part of NEOSYS and works intelligently to display records in the Search List by omitting records in many cases e.g Stopped Records. Another reason why it may omit records is because some people are not authorized to see them e.g if someone is not authorized to do COMPANY ACCESS "XYZ" then the name search would block them from seeing records that are tied to company XYZ. There are many and varied similar restrictions and filters in NEOSYS ensuring that people see only the appropriate records suiting the circumstances.

Name Search occurs for most codes e.g Brands, Accounts etc. Following examples explain it in depth:

Example 1: When creating Analysis Code, you can use Name Search and type Client's name based on which all its Brands will get listed

Example 2: While searching for Schedules by Vehicles enter a keyword for Vehicle name and the matching vehicles will get displayed

Example 3: While creating a batch if you know any part of the Account name, just enter it and Name Search will display all accounts having that word in their name.
