In case you are using Microsoft Outlook, you might have noticed that when searching for emails, you can use some set keywords to narrow down your search. An example can be seen below:
Kompass allows you to use similar keywords for more specific searches. You can use those at Proposals/ Quotes and Projects page. For example, in the search below, we are funnelling all projects in London (1), with a price of $1,000 to $10,000 (2), and limiting to those with a deadline not later than January 20th, 2023.
Some general rules for using those keywords:
- Add the keyword followed by a colon ":" and then you can add the search word.
- Do not use a comma to separate your search keywords.
- The range fields are the ones that can be used like this "<range_field>:<from>-<to>". For example, "price:500-1000". The "from" and "to" values can be left out, for example "price:-1000" will show all prices up to 1000.
- Dates have to be in the format YYYYMMDD, for example: "delivered:20230101-" for all delivered projects in year 2023.
- There is also an extra feature for Dates that allows to always return a specific period of time. Instead of a date as seen above, add the number of days, weeks, months or years before today to return the defined period. Some examples below:
- quoted:10d- (returns all proposals that have been quoted in the past 10 days.
- accepted: 2w- (returns all projects that have been accepted in the past 2 weeks.
- invoiced: 3m- (returns all projects that have been invoiced in the past 3 months.
- same for years (y)
- When you are searching for text, if there are spaces, make sure you will put it in quotes. For example: notes:"Brief: Topographical Survey".
