•Examining your Passcode Search results in the Passcodes List Grid:
✓It is not unusual to find multiple instances of the same Passcode - either because of coincidence, or because the same person exists on multiple lists and habitually uses the same Passcode for simplicity.
✓You may also have Searched for a commonly used Passcode (1234, 9876, Orange, Blue, etc.) that was entered - by their request - for many people within your Company's database.
✓Because of this, you may have to Refine your Search to locate the desired specific Subscriber record.
•Two ways of Refining your Search:
1.Click on one of the Header Titles (Name, CSID, Passcode, Subscriber/Dealer, ID, or Located In) to reverse the order in which the Passcodes List is displayed (lowest value first, to highest value first) based on the Header Title you chose.
2.Find - Enter text to search for a specific record, then Click the Find option.
