In Servoy is it possible to take the user to a form dedicated to searching? Rather than leave the end user confused about what mode they’re in, I’d prefer to give them a specialized form.
Click a button to jump to a search form. Give end users only appropriate fields. Supplement with buttons dedicated to building complex search criteria. Give them a Cancel button which will allow the user to abandon their search and return to where they came from. Give them a Search button which initiates the search. If no results are found, give them an opportunity to adjust their search criteria.
I’ve discovered once the user enters Find mode all buttons are disabled. Apparently the only way to exit Find mode is to use the Enter key. The only way to abandon a Find appears to require entering nonsense search criteria, force the failed search and then abandon.
Guidance requested.
