You can look for records by name from any selector form.

When you create a company or person record, IQX creates a keyname from the full name, cutting out punctuation and, if selected in setup, spaces as well.
For people, the surname is placed at the front, and all letters are made capitals. For example, Jane Smith would have a keyname of SMITH JANE or SMITHJANE if spaces are cut out.
You can find people (candidates) by entering their surname (or Keyname) or database number. The database number is issued by IQX when you create the record. You can find it on their Details page next to the Registered field.
Entering A will bring up all records whose keyname begins with A
You can find companies by their name or account code.
By selecting Contacts you can look for companies by client contact name.
You find vacancies by the client company name or the vacancy number.
By selecting Contacts you can look for vacancies by client contact name.
