By default, your project feed is a collection of all posts your team has created over the entire lifecycle of construction. You can use the custom filter tools to quickly find what you’re looking for, and save your filter for easy access later. Advanced filters and Custom filters are only available for users with a paid account.
Advanced Filters
You can custom filter your project Feed in both 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.
Accessing on mobile:
On your mobile device you'll access the filters from the top left by clicking the magnifying glass. Once in the Search & Filter Panel, choose what filters you wish to apply:
Post status -- view posts that are unassigned, open, resolved, and/or closed.
Post flags -- view posts that are flagged as safety or deficiency, or view posts with no flag. Important Note: For projects created after 1/16/2018, you can also view posts flagged as RFI or Submittal.
Post info -- view posts based on their Locations, Categories, and posts that are Unread.
Assignees and due dates -- view posts that are assigned to you, have past due assignees, are assigned to a particular user/trade, have a specific due date, or by assignee status.
Posted and updated -- view posts that have been sent to you, posts that you’ve responded to, have a certain recipient, were posted by a specific user, by posted date, and by updated date.
Resource Tracking -- view posts for which you’ve tracked resources such as manpower or equipment.
