Parts Master Search Window
The parts master search window title bar will always display the word "Partnumber".
The group box labeled Search On contains eight (8) buttons that correspond to searchable views of the parts master and related data.
P/N - Displays data primarily from the parts master
Loc - Displays data primarily from the inventory detail (including warehouses, bin locations, lots (UID), and unique serial numbers)
X-Ref - Displays data primarily from the inventory cross reference
Ser# - Displays data primarily from the inventory detail where the related part number is marked as "Serialized - Multi"
NOTE: This view will not be populated with data unless there are part master records marked as "Serialized - Multi" on the General tab of the part master record.
BOM - Displays data primarily from the bill of material
NOTE: This view will not be populated with data unless the BOM Module is licensed (or was previously licensed and populated with data)
Cap - Displays data primarily concerning capabilities (both in-house and vendor)
Ext - Displays data from the Extended Info tab of the part master record
Components - Displays data related to the components of assemblies which were removed from an aircraft and placed within the inventory.
The field just below the views button allows the user to input characters on which to search the search column. The results will update in the search grid as the search input is adjusted.
The ellipsis (...) button on the right side of the search input field allows the search to be conducted in a variety of ways.
In each case, the grid will display only values where the string of characters in the search input field match:
Start With - the first characters of the search column
[EXAMPLE] a value of '012' in the search input field might include "012345" in the search column
Contains - the characters in any position within the search column
[EXAMPLE] a value of '012' in the search input field might include "234501234" in the search grid
Equal To - the entire string of characters within the search column
[EXAMPLE] a value of '012' in the search input field would ONLY include "012" in the search grid
Ends With - the last characters of the search column
[EXAMPLE] a value of '012' in the search input field might include "122345012" in the search grid
Soundex - the sound of the characters in the search column
Recent 10 Partnumber - this selection does not change how the search grid operates, instead it lists the last 10 searches performed within the current view
GlobalSrch - the first characters of any column in the search grid
Quick Srch - [More information may be obtained from Pentagon 2000 Technical Support]
NOTE: The search input field label will display which search method is selected.
Filter switches are activated by left-clicking the left side of the switch to the right of each filter display. One or more filter switches may be active concurrently.
NOTE: The filter switches present are hard-coded and may not be setup to filter alternate fields. Only one value may be selected for each filter switch. Filter switches are identical for all search views.
When a filter switch is active, the grid will include only records which include the value selected in the filter switch in the applicable field.
MFG - limits results to a particular manufacturer, identified within the parts master record on the Stock tab
Category - limits results to a particular category, identified within the parts master record on the General tab or as a part number category from within the parts master Options menu.
P/N Type - limits results to a particular part number type, identified within the parts master record on the General tab
Eligibility - limits results to a particular aircraft model, identified within the parts master record on the Eligibility tab.
This field located just below the filter switches can be adjusted to show a limited number of search results in the search window. A smaller limit on the search result lines will enable quicker searches.
The grid is where all filtered results are displayed.
Column Grouping - Column headers may be dragged into the area just above the grid column headers in order to group results by that column (or set of columns)
Column Headers - Identifies the field to which the values below that header belong. Left-clicking a column header will result in one of four outcomes:
1. If the search column header is clicked, the order of the displayed results will change from ascending to descending (or vice versa).
2. Moves the column to the far left and identifies it as the search column.
3. Opens an filter window that allows the input of a lower limit and an upper limit applicable to the values within the selected column.
NOTE: If limits are set for one or more columns, a small yellow light bulb in a pink square will appear just to the right of the input field. A filter may be removed by left-clicking the column header and then left-clicking the Cancel button in the filter window tool bar OR all filters may be removed by double-clicking the yellow bulb in the pink square.
4. Displays a pop-up menu that allows one or multiple values to be selected to limit the values within the selected column.
NOTE: If limits are set for one or more columns, a small yellow light bulb in a pink square will appear just to the right of the input field. A filter may be removed by left-clicking the column header and unchecking all selected values OR all filters may be removed by double-clicking the yellow bulb in the pink square.
The width of each column may be adjusted as necessary.
The column order may be adjusted by dragging the column header to another position within the grid. If a column header is selected (by depressing the left button of the mouse) then the mouse hovered over the other column headers, a set of green arrows will appear identifying where the column will be repositioned when the mouse button is released.
Located in the lower left corner of the search window. Selecting this button allows the creation of a new part master record.
Located in the lower right portion of the search window. Selecting this button opens the native Microsoft Save As window where the filename and location can be identified. The .csv file created will contain all rows included in the grid (up to the number of rows equal to the value saved in the Max Result Search Lines field) and grid columns in the order that they appear a the time the Export to CSV button was selected.

- column order
- column width
NOTE: Saving settings does not save character input in the input field, filter switch settings, or column header filters.
