Quick help

If you need an explanation for any page throughout the program, click on the Quick help button in the top right-hand corner.

Data tables

• Tables can be sorted by clicking on column titles.
• The order of columns can be arranged by clicking, holding, and dragging their titles.
• In many tables, clicking on the "Choose columns" button allows you to show additional columns or hide unneeded ones.
• The table layouts are remembered for each user separately.
• If the list of items contains more than 20 elements, the software displays only the first 20 items by default. Click Load more to load the rest of the list.
• In drop-down menus such as Status, it is possible to select multiple options while holding the Ctrl key.

Search wildcards and operators

There are several wildcards and operators, that can be used when searching:

1. _ can be used as a placeholder (wildcard) for any symbol.
   • "w__d" finds all results with exactly two symbols between "w" and "d," e.g., "wood."
2. % can be used as a placeholder (wildcard) for multiple symbols.
   • "w%d" finds all results that have any number of symbols between "w" and "d," e.g., "wood" and "washed."
3. && ignores the order of words.
   • "wood && table" finds both "wooden table" and "table from wood."
4. || finds data containing at least one word when searching by text.
   • "wood || table" finds both "wooden chair" and "plastic table."
5. - (minus) finds data that does not contain certain words.
   • "-plastic" excludes "plastic" from the results.
   • "table && -plastic" finds all data for "table" except for those containing "plastic."
   •  "-" is a negative operator only when it is the first character or if it is following a space. 
   • If your data starts with "-" or has a suffix added with "-" according to which you wish to search, e.g., "-ABC," then please use "%-abc" to find the data.
6. "" (double quotation marks) finds rows without data in that column.
   • -"" finds non-blank lines.
7. Several conditions may apply together. They can be grouped and prioritized using parentheses.
   • "table && -(plastic || white)" finds all tables which are neither plastic nor white.
