Every job you're on involves a lot of communication and documentation of what's happening -- that day, every day. The back and forth, Q&A, work being assigned and completed, pictures, updates, etc.
In Fieldlens, that communication is captured in posts. And before long, there will be a lot of them within your project.
Luckily, you have plenty of options to always find what you're looking for. Fieldlens will even surface the most important information from the job -- without you having to look for it.
Quick filters
Fieldlens lets you look at different types of posts using quick filters -- accessible within each project on both web and mobile.
At the top of your screen (top left on the web) you'll see your project's name, and just under that is the name of the quick filter you're currently viewing (typically Everything) with a count of posts within that view.
Simply click the quick filter name to switch up your view.

Filter
You can also custom filter your project Feed in your mobile or web app -- isolating the exact info you're looking for. At any time, drill down to a specific project location, category, assignee, due date, and more.
On your mobile device, you'll access the filters from the top left by clicking the magnifying glass.
Next, click the filter icon on the top right corner.
Choose what filters you wish to apply -- for example, filter by post status or assignees and due dates, once you have all your filters selected click the check mark.

Custom Filters:
You'll find the filter options on the web app to the left of your Feed -- all via a slide-out toolbar. Once you've made your selections, you'll have the option to save the filter and access it easily later.
NOTE: Custom Filters is a feature included for users with a paid account.
Search
We're all familiar with search functionality from Google and our email platforms. Fieldlens also offers the ability to search any project for specific information. On web or mobile, just look for the magnifying glass, type in your keywords, and search away.
