Can I search within Ed Controls?

Yes. In the web version you can search within a project by the content of tickets, audits and projects, including words in the middle of a description. On the web and in the mobile app, you can also use the filter menu to search by ticket ID, title and responsible user.

Searching by content (web version)

You are looking for a ticket, but all you remember is that it was about a leak on the third floor. Type in the words you remember and you will see the tickets, audits and projects that contain them. The best match is at the top, and under each result you see the part of the text that contains your search term, so you can tell straight away whether it is the right one.

1. Log in to web.edcontrols.com and open the project.
2. Type your search terms in the search bar at the top of the project.
3. Click a result to open the ticket, audit or project.

You can narrow the results further by type, status, archived and date. You only see results that your role in the project allows you to see in the overview.

If you have just created or changed a ticket, it can take a few seconds before it appears in the search results. Searching by content works per project and only in the web version.

Searching in the filter menu (web and mobile)

On the project overview you can search by project name. Within a project, the filter menu lets you search by ticket ID, the title of a ticket, audit or drawing, the description and the responsible user (by email address).

Web:

1. Log in to web.edcontrols.com and open the project.
2. Go to the right tab.
3. Type your search in the filter menu at the top left and press Enter.

Mobile app:

1. Log in to the app and open the project.
2. Go to the right tab.
3. Type your search in the search bar at the top right and press Enter.

Tip: administrators, accountable and support users can also filter across several projects at once. Find out how in Filtering across multiple projects.
