How to Search Form Fields

Forms use searchable selectors when you need to connect a client, contact, project, invoice, milestone, or team member.

Opening a Searchable Field

Select the field to see the five most recent available records. This keeps the initial list short while still giving quick access to recent work.

Finding a Record

  1. Open the field and type part of the name or label in the search box.
  2. Review the matching results and select the correct record.
  3. Clear the field when the relationship is optional and you no longer want a record selected.

Using the Keyboard

  • Press Enter or the down arrow to open the field.
  • Use the up and down arrows to move through results.
  • Press Enter to choose the highlighted result.
  • Press Escape to close the results without changing the selection.

Fields That Depend on Another Choice

Some choices update the records available in another field. For example, selecting a client can update its projects and contacts, while selecting a project can update its milestones. Make the first choice before searching the dependent field.

Tip:

If a record is not in the first five results, start typing. Search checks all records currently available to that field.
