If the Live Search check box is checked (default), locations meeting the search criteria appear in the Location list dynamically. If unchecked, you must press <ENTER> on your keyboard to start the search.
The filters are inclusive meaning if a value is entered in Location and Part Number, only locations that have that location code AND store that part are listed.
