AltSearchField in the Role Tailored Client

Hi together,

is it right that in the Role Tailored Client there is no functionality to use for example the Customer Name instead ob the ID in the Sales Order Card, so that the Client automatically finds the right Customer? Can´t we use the AltSearchField?

I hope that is only a bug, not a Feature.

Thanks for your help
King Regards

    I'm afraid so. And for me is that the Reasen why I can´t use the role tailored client!

    I hope Microsoft fix this "feature" soon. What is the best way to let Microsoft know some ideas for improvement?

    there is a possibility. You can enter the screen with a certain key (don't know which, saw a colleague do it) and from there with the arrows to the right and left change the field to search in, which is a very nice feature!

    In NAV 2009 the lookup functionality is filter as you type and the default filter column is the ID.
    It is however possible to change the filter column by (when you are typing) to press arrow down (put focus into the lookup window) and then press arrow right or left to change the selected column (column title is bold).
    The selected column is remembered next time you search this field - only problem with this is that you need to remember what you have set these columns to.

    We are investigating how we can make this better.

    Lookups are case insensitive.
    Quick filter (top right side of list places) are also case insensitive.
    Filters (expand the filter pane) are not - they are case sensitive and you will have to write @the can* in order to make that search case insensitive.

    I think we block fields, which are not part of a key from being filtered on - meaning that the immediate answer to you question would be to add the field to a key or create a key.
