How do I search for records related to those displayed on the screen ? - Knowledge Base Office Maker / BiblioMaker

The Office Maker and BiblioMaker programs use a powerful relational database. The principle of this database is to manage relationships between the different files, in order to avoid repetitive entry of identical information. Thus, it would be tedious and error-prone to enter the same complete address of a debtor in each of the invoices intended for him. This is why there is a link between the Addresses file and the Debtor invoices file: when entering the invoice, you only have to enter the code of the desired customer for the program to obtain his complete address.

The Office Maker and BiblioMaker programs can use these links between files when searching and offer a large number of searches, including the following examples:

In OM Business:

From an address, find linked offers, delivery notes, invoices, credit notes
From an address, find related events (history of relations with the customer)
From a debtor invoice, find the corresponding payment
From service items, find the invoices that contain them

In OM Finance :

From an account, a journal or an analysis center, find the related entries
From a currency, find the related accounts
From an analysis center, find the related budgets, accounts, entries, movements

In OM Staff :

From an employee, find the linked banks, analysis centers, sets, salary types, salaries, variables
From a salary type, find the analysis centers, accounts, employees, linked variables

In BiblioMaker :

From a title, find the linked authors, series, subjects, class marks or loans.
From a series, an author, a class mark or a subject, find the linked titles.
From a loan, find the linked address (borrower) or the (lent) title.

To use these links, activate a record in the desired file, then call the Action>Linked records command and choose the linked records to search.
