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 a powerful feature when it comes to searching Data in huge Lists. In databases with huge Client lists with many Brands under them, it becomes difficult for a user to search for a brand among the hundreds listed on the screen. Using this feature they just need to type a keyword saved in the Client file and all the Brands under that Client will get listed e.g To list brands under Client "AL Nabooda Automobile", just type "Nabooda" and all the Brands under it will get listed.
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: Enter a keyword for Vehicle name while searching for Schedules
Example 3: Searching for Accounts while creating a batch.
