Let's look
at the pieces of a data screen window. The upper left corner (or
top line) of all tabs contains a search panel.  You use the first drop-down box to select
the item to search for ("API Well No."),the second to set the
type of match desired ("Begins with") and the blank input
field to enter the criteria you wish to match ("250030507").
If searching by "Location (T-R)," enter the township and range
in this format: 5S-19E.
Or..
Clicking
the button with binoculars executes the new search. If you
want to further restrict the matches, enter more criteria and
click the binoculars button with the "And" or "Or" labels.
"And" gives you only matches to your previous AND your current
criteria. "Or" gives you matches to your previous OR your
current criteria. You'll know that the application is
accessing the database by viewing the status bar on the bottom
of the Window. The status line will read "Accessing
Database...." during these periods - so be patient while the
system accesses data on the Board's database
server.
 On tabs that contain simple grid
controls (like spreadsheets) the search box functions
independently and returns all matches directly to the grid. On
other tabs that contain forms or input fields in addition to a
grid control, another element called a Result List appears
below the search panel.
The result
list contains all the matches returned by your last search,
arranged in a tree outline format. The drop-down box just
above the tree list lets you sort the tree by certain
criteria, such as the Well Name in this case. To load the form
with data for a specific well, you click on the well in the
outline tree (like the "Crow 3-8" to right).
