Overview

A 'List' screen has been created for each of the major types of Records in OneSource.  The purpose of List screens is to be able to easily work with batches of records in the following ways:

  • See a list of all records of a particular type, such as Customers, Vendors, Invoices, etc.
  • Find records by keyword.
  • Create new 'tabs' of records pre-filtered to the set of records that meets your criteria (called 'custom tabs').
  • Add new records - one at a time.
  • Add new records - by importing from a spreadsheet.
  • Export records out of OneSource.
  • Customize the screen design.
