*Note: Although DD Suite allows multiple users to be on the system at the same time, you should be careful not to have staff working on the same sections of DD Suite at the same time. When saving data, DD Suite will store the version of the data that exists at that moment in time. If a second person is also working on the same section, there is a risk that their work will be lost.

Search Filters

When you are unsure of the entire/exact text of a search string, you can enter what you know, and surround the search with %s as masking characters. For instance, "%request%" will return all matches containing "request". "19.gr% will return all matches starting with "19.gr" such as "19.GR.1.3.2.a" and "19.GR.1.4.1.A". Most searches are case insensitive.

...

The Reset Filters button will return all filter settings to their default values - in both the current view and the saved filters. The retrieved list will refresh using the default filter values.

Using Microsoft Word

Character and Word Counts

...

When copying and pasting text from Microsoft Word, or other word processing applications, into DD Suite, you may initially be able to insert more characters than DD Suite field limit allows. However, if the characters calculated by DD Suite exceed the limit of the field, your narrative will be truncated at the character limit without notification. Check all copied/pasted text before saving to be sure the narrative has not been truncated.

Time Stamps

DD Suite uses Eastern Time for all date/time stamps in the system.
