Advanced text searching on any record or document

Keyword search on reports means it is easy to search for a word across multiple fields.

Overview

A class can have many fields included in the key word search from the current record or related records.

Keyword searches give a powerful search facility in a single "Google" style search box. A convenient and simple search box can be used instead of the more advanced search screen in many cases.

The keyword index uses the Soundex algorithm to create the unique set of words, this allows for direct index searches on either the actual words or the words that sound like those entered.

Search Operators

Search for an exact phrase

"search phrase"

Use quotes to search for an exact set of words. Only use this if you're looking for an exact phrase, otherwise you'll exclude many helpful results by mistake.

"fun in the sun"

Exclude a word

-search

Add a dash (-) before a word or site to exclude all results that include that word. This is especially useful for words with multiple meanings, like Jaguar the car brand and jaguar the animal.

jaguar speed -car

 

Fill in the blank

*

Add an asterisk within a search as a place holder for any unknown or wild card terms. Use with quotation marks to find variations of that exact phrase or to remember words in the middle of a phrase.

"a * saved is a * earned"

Search a set of words

word

Will return any record that begins with the keyword and it is not case sensitive, for example fun will match; "function" "fun" "Fun" "having fun" "That is funny". fun would not match "malfunction" "notfun"

How to use

You will find the Keyword Search fields at the top of the report screen.

Report keywords search

Enter a keyword and click the search icon (magnifying glass) or press enter, the search result will show all the records with matching values in any of the listed fields.

What is the new Timeline module?

The Timeline module is a clever combination of sliding graphs and map to visualise your events, tasks or sales opps.

Timeline is more than a graphical representation of your JobTrack data, it is interactive allowing you to link back to the item with a click to see the full details, edit and add details.

Select from the filters to change the date range and items displayed according to type, category and status. Items are tasks, events or sales opportunities which have been entered and scheduled to a day and time. You'll see items in timeline bands with a colour line representing their scheduled time and duration. The items you can view on the timeline bands are displayed on the Google map by markers. Click on the item in the timeline band to see a summary above the marker which is also a link to the item. Click on the item summary link to open the item. You can also click on any marker on the map to see the item summary.

There are 3 Timeline Bands;

Hours, Days, Months.

Timeline Bands

Timeline has 5 filters;
  • Categories
  • Type
  • Date Range
  • Status
  • Assign To
Categories Filter;

Select multiple Categories to filter your events, tasks, sales opportunities or jobs.
