The documentation for the general user interface icons is applicable throughout NEOSYS as they execute the same function in all modules of NEOSYS.

NEOSYS Name Search

NEOSYS has the feature of 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 an extremely important part of NEOSYS but is unfortunately too slow, primarily because it's somewhat intelligent in many cases omitting records e.g Stopped Records to have it dropping down as you type as in classic autofill.

Another reason why NEOSYS Name Search 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: Searching for Accounts while creating a batch.
