Field	Description
Find budget	At the top of the form, enter a partial or complete name or number in the Find budget lookup field to find and select the budget record that you want to view or edit. Your current record selection will be preserved if you switch to another application and then return to this form. If you use multiple companies, you can select only budgets for the active company that you are working in. The name of the active company displays on the right side of the Vantagepoint main toolbar.
Search Navigation Controls	The Search Navigation Controls display to the right of the Find lookup field at the top of most Vantagepoint hub and application forms. Use these controls and their related components to quickly locate a saved search, create ad hoc or new searches, page through records, and find and select multiple hub records. On the Saved Search control (), click to display the Saved Searches (left) pane and Record Selection (right) pane. Most search types include standard, personal (My Searches), shared, and complex searches, as well as an ad hoc search Selection. Available search types vary, depending on the active hub or application form. For more information about Search Navigation Controls, see Search Quick Reference, Components of a Search, and Use Search Navigation Controls to Filter Records.
Saved Searches list	To filter the list of budgets, select one of the following search types: Quick Find: Use this field to locate a specific search or group of searches in a long list of searches. Enter one or more characters in this field and then pause to allow time for the results set to refresh. The records returned for the search are listed in the Records Selection pane. Selection: If available, this ad hoc search appears in the Saved Search control and also in the Saved Searches list. This type of search is based on an existing search in the Saved Searches list and, typically, comprises a portion of all the available hub or application records that were included in the saved search. Use this type of search to quickly view a specific subset of records for a standard search. Only one ad hoc Selection is available at any given time and will remain unchanged until you either update it or create a new ad hoc search. For more information, see Select Hub Records for an Ad Hoc Search and Edit an Ad Hoc Search Selection. In Progress: Select from a list of all open budgets to which you have access. Closed: Select from a list of all closed budgets to which you have access. All: Select from a list of all budgets to which you have access.
