The Browse tool allows users to quickly generate a report in a table format. They can then view this information, print it, and save the browse for others to use as well. The following examples are from the Customer module, however these same steps apply in other modules.
A tutorial movie is available for additional information on the browsefunction.
To access the Browse tool, click on the module toolbar, and the following screen will appear:
The top half of the screen is used to create or edit a browse. The bottom half of the screen is used to manage and run Browses.
To rename a browse report, select the browse in the bottom left part of the screen (circled in red below) and click and a dialog box will appear prompting for a new name. If the browse is renamed, the previous name will be deleted.
After saving a browse report, the report will appear in the lower left corner with the other saved browse reports. See the figure below.
Another option for defining a browse is to use an existing browse as a template. In the lower left corner of the Browse window there is a list of existing browse reports. This list identifies the browse name, whether or not this is a global browse (accessible to all users), and the browse author. Click on an existing browse and it will open in the upper right window allowing you to modify it.
Note: You can choose to view browses accessible to all users or only the browses created by you. Click the radio button by Show Mine or Show All to alter the display.

Note: By default, only administrators will be given access to this function; however, permission can be granted to other users. See the system administrator for details.
To the right of the Browse button there will see a downward arrow indicating a drop-down menu. This menu provides access to the Quick Browse feature. The Quick Browse feature allows users to view saved browse reports from within the module. A sample menu appears below:
