Tips |
|
| 1. | Before you can enter or modify data on Personnel, Vacancies, Sites or Invoices forms you must unlock the form by pressing the Lock/Unlock button  (or F4 or CTRL+L shortcut keys). The Lock/Unlock button is displayed with a red outline when the form is unlocked. |
| 2. | Use keyboard shortcuts. |
| 3. | Use the Goto  buttons. In addition to database navigation they are used to send Email messages, open Web sites and dial phone numbers. |
| 4. | Many form-based controls pop up a 'control tip' when the mouse pointer is positioned over them. A control tip window contains a short description of the underlying control. |
| 5. | All drop-down lists have an auto-complete function, just start typing and the first matching item will be shown. Use this feature to avoid having to use the mouse to scroll through long drop-down lists. |
| 6. | Use the Edit->Find... menu command (CTRL+F) to find and optionally replace matching field values in form or datasheet view. |
| 7. | Use the Records->Quick Sort menu commands to sort continuous forms or datasheets by the current field. |
| 8. | Maximise the application and forms when using displays with limited screen size. |
| 9. | Exit the PRS before closing down and switching off your PC. |
| 10. | Use the Not available until  field on the Personnel form to highlight at a glance when a contractor is next available or when the re-placement moratorium on a permanent candidate is still in place. |
| 11. | You can categorize recruitment consultants by using different occupations, for example Recruitment consultant (contract) could be used to produce reports relating to contract consultants. Consultant reports can be based on a specific occupation using the report dialog Occupation option. |
| 12. | Use the Document Management tools to mail drop a selection of candidates or clients with either a printed or Emailed document. |
