PIP stage 1 (PIP 1) improves the speed of major screens and long dropdown lists in larger databases by 100%. The 100% speed increase was achieved in tests of larger databases including one with 35,000 clients, 50,000 jobs, over half a million register items and 1 million timesheets

PIP 1 also includes a new Find dialog box in the Business Contact and Job / Project screens that provides simultaneous searches on several fields. Press CTRL+ F to open the new Find dialog box
