Updated on

Essential Resources: To complete this training you must have access to eFactoryPro.

This training will take you through how to use the filters when looking for work in the Work Module.

Using filters will be the best way to create a very specific list of tasks/work orders or to find specific types of work.

Upon entering the Work Management Module, the default view is "My Work," displaying the tasks assigned for the day. Tasks, except for Priority One break-in tasks, will have undergone the Planning and weekly scheduling processes. Clicking on a Task Tile in the upper section reveals the task details in the lower panel.

1. Clicking on the Task button will take you to a number of different views for the Technician.

By default, you will see All Open Tasks, but a number of other options are available from the drop-down.

2. Each column will have a couple of options for filtering.

The ascending/descending arrows are a different type of filter to the left of the three-line icon.

3. The horizontal 3 line icon will give you options on how to set up the column as it relates to the grid.

4. The vertical 3 line icon will give you option to pick and choose which columns the user will see in the grid view.

5. For all other filtering options there is the Table Filters button.

7. Depending on what is contained in the column each one will have one of the following filtering formats to choose from in their drop down option:

Greater Than, Less Than, Equals, Equal Any:

This option enables users to search for numbers using one of three modifiers. The "Equal Any" modifier allows users to enter multiple work order or task entries, with all numbers separated by a pipe symbol (above the Enter key) or a comma.
