Searching for specific tasks and ticksheets
If the Project screen displays a large number of tasks and ticksheets, it can be difficult to find the one you need. To search for a specific task or ticksheet, tap in the Search field and start typing. As you type, the list of tasks and ticksheets is limited to those:
- With names that include the text you type.
- With user-defined field content ('String'-type user-defined fields only) that include the text you type - even if the task name does not include the text.
For example, if you type the text 'gar' in the Search field, the list is limited to:
- Tasks with names that include the text 'gar', eg 'Wiring to garage' or 'Garden landscaping'.
- Tasks with one or more 'String'-type user-defined fields that include the text 'gar', eg 'Gardening' or 'Garage'.
To clear your search and redisplay all tasks and ticksheets on the Project screen, clear the text in the Search field or tap 
.
