Hi Chad - the Alt-PrtScn function also works in 9.35 with dialogue windows like advanced query and constituent assistant that don't take up the entire screen. Best - Jay

Jay - Looking forward to upgrading to 2010, so that we can resize the windows before Alt + PrtScn. Windows 7 also has a snipping tools built right into the OS, which is quite handy.

Another easy way to get a screen capture is by pressing Alt-PrtScn. This
copies the currently selected window (not the entire screen) to your
clipboard so no cropping is necessary. You can then paste it into an
application like Word or an Outlook email.

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.
