Query mode allows you to browse and to display existing data, either all data or restricted by means of the entered query conditions. Most screens open in query mode by default, ready for the user to display existing data from the database, and visible with the yellow field background color. Query mode is also shown in the status bar of the screen footer. You can change from Query Mode to Input Mode by selecting Cancel Query or Run Query from the toolbar or using the corresponding shortcuts.

In query mode, you can enter values or ranges as search criteria in the yellow fields to reduce the search result. You can use the wildcards _ (underscore) as a placeholder for one character and % (percent) as a placeholder for multiple characters. Then use the Run Query button on the toolbar to retrieve the selected data.

The example in the picture below uses both wildcards: _ and %.

Result of the query:

You can enter search criteria in multiple fields; the search will only retrieve records that meet all of these criteria.

To repeat a query using the same search criteria again, use Enter Query or the F7 shortcut twice to retrieve the previous query condition.
