If the user wants to search the exact phrase or combination of words (e.g. Company Details) and would like to omit from the search results the single words from the phrase, he/she may enter the search keywords within quotation marks (e.g. "company details"). This will display all topics that contain the exact phrase within Preceda.

  • Use the Remove Search Highlight button to remove the highlighted word/s (i.e. coming from the searched keyword/s).
  • Each field within a topic is represented by a Drop-down field . This means that by expanding the field name, information about the field is revealed.

  • Using the Expand All/ Collapse All button opens all drop-down fields to reveal their information (Expand All), and closes all currently opened drop-downs (Collapse All), respectively.
