Navigation Toolbar

The "Navigation" toolbar is used to filter, search, browse, sort and otherwise move between member records that you have entered into the CLMS - Chicago Lodge Membership System. Each button on this toolbar has a specific purpose as described below. This toolbar is located in the middle left of the system screen when CLMS - Chicago Lodge Membership System is first opened.:

Browse

Asc (sort)

Press this button to sort the member records in ascending order (A to Z) or descending order (Z to A).

VCR Buttons

The last four buttons on the Navigation toolbar are used for navigating the member records. Their look and function is very similar to the buttons on a VCR (or DVD player). They provide an easy way to jump to the top of the records, the bottom of the records or to page through the member records one at a time forward or backward. Here are the four VCR buttons provided on the Navigation toolbar:
