Standard Buttons and Filters

Search Filters
Each screen includes two types of search filters to help find and filter data:
Option 1: General Search Filter
Located at the top right of every screen. This search scans all available/visible columns, except for attachment columns or those containing icons.
Option 2: Advanced Search Filter
This filter allows for column-specific searches. You can assign a search query (green) for each column (red), and specify how it should search (blue).
If you use a filter frequently—like viewing all open work orders every morning—you can save it as a "view" and reload it later.
The advanced filter also offers dynamic date search options. You can use the following keywords in the “Value” field to always see items from, for example, last week or next month, regardless of the current date:
Tekst | Uitleg |
[yesterday] | Shows all items dated yesterday. |
[today] | Shows all items dated today. |
[tomorrow] | Shows all items dated tomorrow. |
[last_week] | Shows all items from last week. |
[this_week] | Shows all items from this week. |
[volgende_week] | Shows all items from next week. |
[vorige_maand] | Shows all items from last month. |
[deze_maand] | Shows all items from this month. |
[volgende_maand] | Shows all items from next month. |
