How to exclude data when you are doing searches

In Daybook Enterprise and Modulus, when you are searching for data, for instance for a mailing, it is sometimes useful to exclude certain things from the search.
For example, you may wish to search for contacts, that do not have the Role 'P'. To do this:

* Go to the Contacts menu
* Click More Choices.
* Click the 'No @ Lists' checkbox i.e. so that an 'x' appears inside it.
* Go to the Functions menu on the top menu bar
* Select Not Equal to (the # symbol is used to define data that is not equal to a specific value)
* Alternatively you can use Option-3






Click Find.

A list of those companies with contacts that do not have a role of P will then be displayed.

Other Functions
Other ways in which searches can be refined from the Functions menu are by using

* Equal to
* Greater than
* Greater than or equal to
* Less than
* Less than or equal to
* Contains
* Does not contain
