Searching and filtering

Global search

Use the global search, available in the floating menu on every page, to search for anything - any record (customers, jobs) or any page or setting in the app.

Global search

In-page search

You'll find a search bar at the top of several pages in getSoapy, such as the Customers, Jobs, Invoices and Payments pages. Here you can search and filter the results displayed.

Customer search bar

To search quickly, type a name, address or other detail and press Enter.

To narrow down your results, click in the search bar and pick a field, such as a balance, round or status. Then choose how to compare it (for example greater than, before or in the last) and enter a value. You can add as many of these as you need.

Each part of your search appears as a pill in the search bar. Tap a pill to change it, or tap its X to remove it. To clear the whole search, tap the X at the end of the search bar.

On some pages, you can also sort the list to make it easier to find what you're looking for.

Saved searches

On some pages, such as the Customers and Jobs pages, you'll find some helpful saved searches below the search bar, with the number of results for each.

To delete a saved search, tap the saved search to select it, then tap the bin (delete) icon.
