Sorting and Filtering on the Requests Page
The Requests Page is a list view of every manpower request across all projects within the Group you are currently viewing.
This article will show you how to manage your Requests page by utilizing the sorting and filtering capabilities.
Sorting
Sorting on the Requests page refers to the order in which the list is presented. By default, the Requests page is sorted in alphabetical order based on the project names. Display your preferred request information by adding and removing items from the Columns Bar. Learn how to customize your columns HERE.
In the column bar, each field that has the capability to sort includes a carrot icon next to the word. A carrot icon appearing in orange indicates that it is the one currently sorting the page.
- To sort your requests by a specific column, click the carrot icon.
-
Once a carrot icon is in use, click it again to reverse the list order.
- A carrot pointing upward is sorting in standard order (A-Z, high-to-low, etc.), while a downward pointing carrot indicates the reversed order.
The order in which each column is sorted is determined by the units of that column
-
Worded units are sorted in A-Z format, or reversed to Z-A
- Project Name, State, Created By
-
Numerical units are sorted from high-to-low, or reversed to low-to-high
- Project Number, Start/End Date, Start/End Time, Date Created
Filtering
While sorting is used to rearrange your list, Filtering is used to narrow down the list.
To add a filter to the Requests page:
- Click the funnel icon in the top-left corner of the page
-
Select your filter of choice, then click the blue checkmark to apply the filter
- Assignment State: show only the requests with an assignment state configured in your settings
- Created by: show only the requests created by a specific user
- Ending: show the requests that end On or Before, On, or On or After an entered date
- Starting: show the requests that begin On or Before, On, or On or After an entered date
- Position: show the requests that ask for a specific job title
- Project: show the requests for a specific project
- Tags: show only the requests that ask for a specific tag
- Filter to show requests that are not applicable to the selected filter by choosing Doesn't Match before applying the filter.
When using multiple tags as filters on the Requests page, you can apply them using AND/OR logic.
- AND filters will show the requests that contain all of the currently filtered tags.
- OR filters will list every request that holds at least one of the tag filters in play.
