Hi Everyone,
I'm a huge fan of a screen capture utility called Jing. It adds a nice little "sun" icon at the top of your screen that you can click whenever you need to use it.

The same company also makes Snagit.
Both allow for screen capture as well as markup with arrows and text.

I'm sure there are a lot of ways of doing it, but I have virtually no special image editing software on my machine, so this is what I do.
Hit the "print screen" button in the upper right of your keyboard (I think you have to hold the shift key also).
Open MS Paint.
Paste.
Use the crop tool to grab the part you want. Or open an new paint file and paste it there to save it.
Paste this in any word doc or email. It's a .bmp so it's not a huge file, which is nice.

Also - probably a dumb question: but how do you make those beautiful screen shots of TMS pages? I haven't been able to figure out how to do this.
Thanks,

Hi Amber,
To my knowledge, you can't search on "not" within the Query Assistant. TMS reads "not" as an additional search value and will bring up anything in the search field containing both the word "not" plus the word you are searching on.
I agree that the Advanced Query can be scary for the average TMS user. What I do is create an advanced query for my users, and then save it under the "Saved Queries" section. This allows them to pull up and run more complicated queries. They simply select the name I've saved it under in the Saved Queries box, and TMS immediately populates the fields above. They hit Execute and it's done. Sometimes I even login as them to create the query so they're able to identify their login name next to the name of the query. One bugaboo I have noticed is that TMS automatically checks the checkbox "Include Virtual Objects" whether you have saved the query with the "Accessioned objects only" box checked or not. Just ask your users to make sure the correct box is checked prior to executing the query. Here's a screenshot below. Good luck!

Sorry if this is kind of a dumb question, but does anyone know if it's possible to use the operator "NOT" in free text searching? I know you can use Advanced Query for this, but some of our users are intimidated by advanced query and wanted to know if they could use "NOT" in Query Assistant. I tried it out and it doesn't seem to be an option, and I'm not finding it in the manual.
