The application's namesake tool allows Users to locate search for an item (be it a Contact, Location, piece of Equipment, Service, etc.) and view a comprehensive representation of how the item relates to the other items in the system. 360 View is much more than a typical search engine. It's a powerful tool that helps Users understand precisely how their data and resources interact within their organization.

The 360 View search brings up all matching records in the tab appropriate to the data type. Valid data types are 'Contacts', 'Dept. Hierarchy', 'Equipment', 'Locations', 'Cables', 'Phone Services', 'Data Services', 'Backbone Services', 'Auth Code Services', 'Trunk Services', and 'Other Services' and looks like the following image:

If a search matches a data type, a tab appears with a label to indicate how many records of a given data type matched the search. A User can then click a tab to see a Grid with all matching records.

When a 360 View form is opened a User can move between records by closing the record and opening a new one. However, an easier option might be the Prev (previous) button or the Next button. Clicking either button steps the currently viewed record by one so the User doesn't need to individually close and open every record they wish to view. The following is an example of the 'Service 360 View' form:
