APL Scan

The APL scan feature allows you to find particular lines of information within large lists of records for an APL segment, particularly Segments D and F.

 To use the scan feature

1. Click the Database menu, highlight Navy, and click APL/AEL.
2. Enter 00000179 in the RIC/APL/AEL field, and then click Search.
   The Current APL page opens with the Segment D tab in view.
   
3. You can scan this list by a specific FSC code, NIIN, CAGE, or Part/Ref No. All of these headings have text box search fields under the heading. For this example, enter 5940 in the FSC text box in the FSC column, and then click the Go! button or Enter on your keyboard. The list is not only sorted by this FSC code, it is also reduced to much fewer records.
4. To clear the list and return to your original results list, click the Clear button.
   Hover your mouse of the graphic to enlarge it.
   
   
   
   
5. You can also sort your APL records by a specific column. For example, click the FSC black square in the FSC header column. Your list will be sorted in ascending order.
   
   
   
   Notice that the square turns into a triangle, indicating the FSC column has sorted the list in ascending order. If you click the triangle, it will resort the list in descending order.
   
   
   
   
6. To return to your original list without any sorting, click the Back button at the top left of your screen. a
