Once you have opened a serial database you get a window with a list of applications on the left of that window. Clicking on an application in the list will give you more information on the right. Which information is shown exactly depends on if you are working with a Serial Box 2 file or a Codez4Palm file. See the sections for each below. It is possible to filter the application list with the rounded field above the list. Entering text in the field will do a live filter on the list. The filtering is done on any part of the application name. If you filter for "A" it will show you applications that start with "A" but also applications that have an "A" anywhere else in their title. Note that the filtering is case insensitive. Filtering for "A" will also return applications that have an "a" in their name. There is a checkbox below the filter field which enables you to show only applications that were updated since the last issue (Serial Box 2 only). This is in combination with the text filter. There are also 2 pop-up menus (only for Serial Box 2). These menus allow you to select a category and subcategory. Only applications that match the chosen category will show. This works in combination with the filter field and the updated-only checkbox. Once you have opened a serial database you get a window with a list of applications on the left of that window.
