4.9.3 The Procedure with an Example

Example 4-2 Example

In the ‘Summary View’ screen for on-line contracts, the fields displayed are the criteria by which you can make a query.

Suppose you want to see all the loans (in the Loans module) with a specific Maturity date:
  • Click on Maturity Date in the Fields list.
  • From the Operator option list, click on Equal To.
  • To specify the Maturity Date (28 December 1999), pick the date from the option list under Value.
  • Click ‘Accept’ button.
  • You will see the query appearing in the ‘Query’ screen.
  • If you wish to go ahead with the original query, click ‘Ok’ button. You will see the ‘Contract Summary’ screen, with a display of the details of only those contracts maturing on the date you have specified.
  • If you do not wish to carry the query through, then click ‘Clear Query’ button. The ‘Query’ screen is cleared and you can proceed to make a new query.
