Introduction
There are situations when you need to get a list of people who meets certain criteria.
...
Static Selections are historical selections of persons that can be saved for later. These selections are always fixed (contain the same number of persons) and never get updated because of the changes in the database.
Dynamic Selections store a set of criteria that can be saved and later re-used.
Thus, it allows you to prepare a range of the most used selections that can be quickly re-loaded by the users at any type. This saves time and improves user workflow.Date Dependent Selections is a user-friendly and flexible way of searching the information on persons who are on board a certain vessel today.
The same result can be achieved by the Adonis Query tool (Dynamic selection).
