Entry

Quicksearch

Quicksearch at the top of the sidebar allows you to quickly search and filter tasks, emails, properties and contacts. 

  • Addiction depth: You can search for individual data or by combining several criteria. The more fields you fill in, the more precise the search result will be.
  • Detailed search: If the quick search fields are not sufficient, you can use the “Detailed search” button to access the extended screen.
  • Configuration: The search fields for addresses and properties can be customized under Administration → Input fields . The fields for e-mails and tasks are fixed and cannot be changed.

Procedure: First select the category (properties, contacts, emails or tasks) in which you would like to search using the corresponding icon and then enter your search terms.

The search fields displayed in Quicksearch can be freely configuredfor contacts and properties via the Administration → Input fields . The search fields for e-mail and tasks cannot be customized.

First determine whether you want to search for properties, contacts, emails or tasks by clicking on the corresponding icon.

Display of search results

The display depends on the number of results found:

  • Single hit: If the search criteria result in exactly one match, this data record is automatically opened directly.
  • Multiple hits: If there is more than one possible result, a list of search results is displayed in a separate window for selection.
  • The search terms currently used are displayed on the left above the list under “Search for:“.
  • Direct hits are highlighted in color: In this case, the search term matches the input exactly (e.g. a search for “Otto” finds the first name “Otto”).
  • Partial hits follow after the direct hits. In this case, the search term is part of a word (e.g. a search for “Otto” finds the first name “Ottokar”).
  • Sort by: Within these categories, the results are sorted alphanumerically according to the criterion you have selected.

The results list behaves almost identically to the main modules (properties,contacts, tasks):

  • View options: You can switch between table, tile and presentation view (properties only).
  • Navigation: Functions such as scrolling, sorting and setting the entries per page are available as usual.
  • Customization: Which columns appear in the list is determined centrally in the administration.
  • More actions & printing: To print results or perform further actions, select the desired data records using the checkboxes (right) and select “Print” or “Further actions” in the action bar.
  • Special feature e-mails: The display of the e-mail search results differs from this standard layout (see above, E-mail tab)

Detailed search

If you are looking for a criterion that is not included in the Quicksearch, you can use the “Detailed search” button to switch to the detailed search in order to search more fields for properties, addresses and emails. If you search for several fields, the result will be all records that match all search terms.
For properties there is the simple search with few fields, the advanced search and the search by search criteria.
 
Detailed search
 
Click on the “Search” button to start the search and the results list will be opened, which is also used for the normal search.
 

Filter

Using the Quicksearch you can also quickly and easily create a filter for contacts or properties. Specify the desired criteria and click on “Filter”. A filter is created and the main contact list with the newly created filter is displayed.
Via the filter dialog in the toolbar, you can select “Edit filter” and adjust the filter or save it directly under a separate name for future use. You can find more information about filters here for contacts or here for property.

Detail filter

If you are looking for several data records or property records, it is recommended that you create a filter. By clicking on Detail filter you can directly access the filter function of the individual modules. There you can create a filter, which you can use in the future. You can view the exact filter creation for contacts, property or emails .

Quicksearch – Settings

Settings for the Quicksearch category in Quicksearch.
All options at a glance:

  • Observe filter: If the check mark is set, active filters or worklists will be considered when searching via Quicksearch.
  • Include non-active ones: If the check mark is set, not only active but also archived records are included in the search.
  • Empty the stock exchange field after the search: Exchange field for the MLS is not emptied if this setting is not activated.
  • Search results in new window: If the check mark is set, search results are opened in a new window. The current view is retained.
  • Leave result window open after clicking: If the check mark is set, the results list window remains open even if you have selected the record you are looking for from the results list and opened it by clicking. If the check mark is not set, the results list window is closed as soon as you have opened the record you are looking for by clicking on it.
  • Automatic placeholders: If the check mark is set, a fractional input already leads to suggested results. For example, you can enter “uttgar” in the Location field: the results list now shows results that contain the fragment you are looking for in the Location field (Stuttgart). If the check mark is not set, an exact entry is required.
  • Note the view: If you activate this option, the Quicksearch window changes automatically. If you open the contact administration, the Quicksearch selection also jumps to “Contacts”. However, the default setting remains independent of the module as before.
  • Automatically close sidebar after search: If the check mark is set, the sidebar is automatically folded up after the search.
