Clearing "list of details"
Permalink Closed

Hi,

Currently using Sage Instant accounts and when posting purchase invoices, Journals etc the details section seems to carry, in a drop down box, all the previous details that have been used before. The list is now becoming huge and was wondering if anyone knows how to clear all the old data.

Many Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul

Sorry I can't answer the question but was going to post the same myself.

So if anyone has an answer, there are at least two people that would like to know.

Bill

I don't know, but why is it annoying, it doesn't pick themup unless you are writing the same words does it? Or am I misunderstanding?

Hi

I have just been having a play in Sage and found this, hope it helps.

Settings
Company Preferences
Parameters
Within Parameters there are 3 sections and in the one title Other there is a tick box Display ActiveSearch Popup at the moment it will probably be ticked, so if you untick it and click ok this will stop the previosuly entered descriptions appearing. But it also stops the account names, numbers appearing as an automatic drop down when you enter purchase invoices, journals etc.

So you never quite get exactly all that you want

Regards

Mark

Hi Rob

Bit like Marmite or predictive texts, you either love it or hate it. (Like Marmite, hate predictive texts)

What I find annoying is that it stores everything and if there are useful descriptions, if you make an error in spelling/ spacing or other mistake it stores that too, so you still end up scrolling through a list
