or shortcut <F3> will search on folios based on status (Reservation,
Cancelled, In-House, Checked Out or Waiting List).

the seek icon from that screen, the system will seek only on status cancelled.

main menu and selecting the status by double clicking on it or using the
shortcut command.

for seeking folios can be made from the Front Desk Menu also which
include searching for in-house and checked out guests.
<Ctrl> R will initialize the seek window for all active reservations.
<Ctrl> E will initialize the seek window all cancelled folios.
<Ctrl> L will initialize the seek window all Waitinglist reservations.
