Modifying Database Information

If any information regarding customers, products, haulers, trucks, jobs, or discounts needs to be changed, it is
simple to do so.

1. From the

View

menu, select which category contains the information to be modified.

A corresponding dialog box appears. Each category follows the same procedure. For this example, we
will modify a product, so the

Select Product

dialog box appears.

2. In the

Search Text

text box, type a keyword that will match the desired product. This is helpful if you

have a large database. Alternatively, if you want to view all products in your database, leave the

Search

Text

text box blank.

Search

Products matching your keyword, or all products, are retrieved and appear in the

Products

section.
