The "Held" Filter

The "Held" Filter is a perfect example of how we listen to our Users' Suggestions. We were asked to include this feature for when users searched in the Main Screen their items found would be remembered and they could browse the items without any fear of losing the search.

With the addition of the new "Held" Filter in ResourceMate®, when you do a Search Specific Items the items found will be brought back into the Main Screen. Now only the items found will be viewable from this screen. To know that it has worked, and to tell you how many items were found, you'll see a screen like this:

Filtered items will be shown by a red line of words above the Resource Type.

Notice the words in red, "* Filtered (12 items)." This immediately shows you that the filter worked and that (in this case) there are 12 items that can be browsed. Now you can search through only the items that were filtered. When you use any of the navigation buttons on the Main Screen you will only navigate through these 12 items. This speeds up your searches tremendously, especially when you are searching through similar items, because you never have to worry about browsing too far or clicking too many times on a button and accidentally resetting your search.

When you are done with the "Held" Filter, and want to go back to the full collection, you have a few options:

  • Use the Search All Items button
  • Use the Add a New Item button
  • Select a different resource type in the Resource Type pull-down list.

Using one of these options will reset your search and return you to browsing your entire collection.

The "Held" Filter is featured in ResourceMate® Regular or Plus version 2.0h only. If you are at an earlier version of ResourceMate®, we recommend you Update.
