QUICK FIND

The Quick Find tool enables users to quickly determine an item's availability and order status from anywhere within RAAS. When accessed from within the Item Management module, the Quick Find window can locate and drive to the item details in either the Assembly Tree or the Item Editor. RAAS Quick Find offers an alternative Search while typing feature, which is handy for quickly narrowing down items. Also, RAAS will remember your quick find settings, which are referred to as preference settings.

Results and Availability

Double-clicking a Results item will refresh the Availability and Location, as well as the Parts detail sections. This can also be accomplished by single-clicking the result item and clicking the Refresh button beneath the Availability and Location window.
