# Manage generic inquiries

> In Visma Net, you can create and manage inquiries without having any programming skills by using the Generic inquiry (SM208000) window.


For more information: [Generic inquiry (SM208000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/customisation/customisation-windows/generic-inquiry-sm208000/index.md).

In Visma Net, you can create and manage inquiries without having any programming skills by using
the [Generic inquiry (SM208000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/customisation/customisation-windows/generic-inquiry-sm208000/index.md) window.
You can edit the inquiry view
and the titles, and arrange the elements in the window as you need. After saving your changes, you
can immediately check your changes.

Additionally, you can create multiple pivot tables for each generic inquiry. You can use pivot tables to reorganise and summarise data in a generic inquiry, to view it from different perspectives.

Another option is to create side panel navigation paths for generic inquiries.
