Introduction:
Many menus in VUE use a grid layout, enabling users to browse and locate information efficiently. This layout enhances the ability to quickly spot relevant data at a glance. Each cell in the grid represents a unique data point and includes features such as filtering and sorting controls.
Whether you are searching for a customer, part, repair order, or receipt, the grid system facilitates a faster and more effective workflow for every VUE user at the dealership.
Best Practices:
- You do not need to know the full customer name, part #, receipt #, stock# etc. to be able to utilize the search fields.
- Start by inputting the first few letters or numbers in the field you are searching to begin refining your results.
- The Grid default filter is determined in the User Settings. To learn more about User Settings, CLICK HERE

Search Fields
There are search fields where you can easily search for what you are looking for by entering the information in any of the blank fields below:
In the scenario below, I am looking for a spark plug. As demonstrated, typing part of the word triggers the search results to appear. The default filter is determined in the User Settings > Log String Filter.
