After searching for an organisation/person, e.g. a Client, you will see the matching results shown on screen.

Number of results shown

If your search has returned more than 200 results, the results will be displayed over more than one page. A message at the top of the screen will alert you to this, and the arrow buttons allow you to skip forwards or backwards through the results.

Total record matches

As you'd expect, any search returns matches from within the Type that you searched for - for example, if you search for clients named "Jones", you would expect to only get results for clients, not volunteers, staff etc.

However, if there are matches within the other Types of organisations/people on the system, there will be a message to alert you to this, with a "Search All" button to see these other matching people/organisations. If you searched for clients named "Jones" and saw 2 results, but with a message saying "There were 5 total record matches in Charitylog", that means "there are 2 clients called 'Jones', but there are also 3 other organisations or people called 'Jones' ". Clicking the "Search All" button will allow you to see these other results.

"New" tab and the "Create New" button

Once you have run a search, you can then choose to create a new record of the Type you searched (i.e. if you were searching Clients, these buttons will create a new Client record).
