EZ-MES Objects can be found and opened by opening a list-box containing the objects and clicking the row with your specific object. This will open the object in a Popup Form / Dialog.

If the number of objects in the list-box is large, it can be filtered down by activating one of the filters for one of the columns. Filtering can be a fast way to find any object, due to the Intellisense of the input fields.

Pressing F9 again will show the previous filled out data in the dialog. The entry is selected, so just start typing for a new entry, or edit the old entry.
