Every list in Nori works the same way: search and filters on top, the table below. To select several documents and print, copy or invoice them at once, see The document list: filters and bulk actions.
Search
Type in Search… above the list. The table updates as you type. Partners are found by code, name or tax ID; items by code or name; documents by number, series or customer.
To find something without opening the list, use the general search (Ctrl+K). See How to find any screen with search.
Filter
- Filter: on catalogs that have it, pick one of the catalog's saved views, for example items with a stock alert. All removes it.
- User fields: if a user field of type list, yes/no or link is set to show in the list, it appears as a filter.
- Document lists also filter by status, series, sales rep, payment form and dates.
Search keeps the filter you have set, and the other way around.
Sort
Click a column header to sort by it. Click again to reverse. The arrow next to the name shows the column and the direction.
Go to a partner's documents
In a document, next to the partner you'll see See their invoices (or the document's type: orders, deliveries…). It opens that type's list already filtered by the partner. The tag with their name above the list removes the filter.
Search inside a module (Ctrl+B)
With a document open, Ctrl+B puts the cursor in Search this module. Type a number, a series, the customer or the reference: results show as you type, with their total, date and status. See all results in the list opens the list with that search.
Move through records with the keyboard
Inside a document or a record:
| Shortcut | Does |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+Home | First record |
| Alt+PgUp | Previous record |
| Alt+PgDn | Next record |
| Ctrl+End | Last record |
| Esc | Back to the list |
Why: these are SAP Business One's record navigation arrows, on the keyboard.
If you don't see…
- A record you know exists: clear the Filter and the user field filters, and check the search.
- A filter for a user field: the field must be of type list, yes/no or link, and set to show in the list.
- Other salespeople's documents: salespeople only see their own in the lists.
- The New button: your role can't create that kind of record.
