So instead of scrolling down your entire tickets list, you can use the Filters Panel, Search Box, or the Sorting feature to get a clear view on what\u2019s on your mind today.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Filtering is the key tool to finding things fast and easy. With the powerful filtering options, you get answers to questions like what\u2019s on your to-do list today, what issues need to be fixed at the earliest, what is the progress of the ticket you\u2019ve issued, or what is an overall performance of your team. These features also come in handy when you want to create a personalized, clear view of your most important tickets.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-component picture\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_178\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-178\" style=\"width: 641px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-178\" src=\"https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/screen_VT_0.png\" alt=\"Futuramo Visual Tickets\" width=\"641\" height=\"401\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-178\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Futuramo Visual Tickets<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"about-the-features\" class=\"post-component\">About the features<\/h2>\n<p class=\"post-component text\">The first thing to do when reviewing the long list of tickets is to orient yourself. This involves sorting the data and filtering out records you don\u2019t need to see. Futuramo offers a few approaches to organizing your tickets list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-component text\"><strong>Here are some tips and hints for mastering filtering, searching and sorting in Visual Tickets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tip-1-filters-panel\" class=\"post-component\"><strong>Tip 1: Filters Panel<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"post-component text\">One way to filter information on Futuramo is by using the advanced <strong>Filters Panel<\/strong>, which is the key filtering feature to find what you&#8217;re looking for.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_584\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-584\" style=\"width: 641px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-584 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/timespiritlabs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/screen_VT_1_small.png\" alt=\"Filtering Panel\" width=\"641\" height=\"450\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-584\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Filtering Panel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Filters Panel allows filtering by attributes such as:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"post-component text\">\n<li><strong>Assigned to<\/strong>: Filter by the person assigned to a ticket.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Owner<\/strong>: Filter by the person that created the ticket.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Status<\/strong>: Pick among\u00a0to-do, in progress, review, done, needs feedback, to be discussed, on hold, archived.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Type<\/strong>: See only the tickets that are bugs, change request, feature request or feedback.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Priority<\/strong>: Narrow down your results to the tickets with the highest priority.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Estimation<\/strong>: Limit results to the tickets that are the quickest\/longest to resolve.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Date created<\/strong>: Filter results by the date or timespan when the ticket was created.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Date updated<\/strong>: Limit results according to when a ticket was updated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"post-component text\"><strong>Example<\/strong>: To see only your today\u2019s most important tickets, simply:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"post-component text\">\n<li>Click the person icon,<\/li>\n<li>Select the red to-do status,<\/li>\n<li>Pick the showstopper or the high (III) priority button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 id=\"try-this-useful-trick\" class=\"post-component text\"><strong>Try this useful trick<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n<p class=\"post-component text\">If you want to see the tickets assigned to you or created by you, tap the person icon in the filtering panel. That will do the work.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-580\" src=\"https:\/\/timespiritlabs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/screen_VT_2_small.png\" alt=\"screen_vt_2_small\" width=\"630\" height=\"539\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tip-2-search-box\" class=\"post-component\">Tip 2: Search Box<\/h2>\n<p class=\"post-component text\">Another way of locating what you need is by using real-time <strong>Search Box<\/strong>. Tap the search icon at the top of the app and type in your search query \u2013 a name, phrase or any other keyword associated with the ticket you\u2019re looking for. The list will instantly reveal the most accurate results for the phrase\/word\/keyword you entered.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-581\" src=\"https:\/\/timespiritlabs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/screen_VT_3_small.png\" alt=\"screen_vt_3_small\" width=\"631\" height=\"539\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"try-this-useful-trick-2\" class=\"post-component text\"><strong>Try this useful trick<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n<p class=\"post-component text\">You can narrow down your results by using the following formulas:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"post-component text\">\n<li>Ticket ID: enter <strong>#123<\/strong> to search for a specific ticket by the ticket ID.<\/li>\n<li>Owner: enter <strong>owner:john<\/strong> to search for tickets created by a specific person, e.g. your colleague John.<\/li>\n<li>Updater: enter <strong>updater:mary<\/strong> to search for tickets, whose status was updated by a specific person, let\u2019s say, Mary.<\/li>\n<li>Assignee: enter <strong>assignee:kate<\/strong> to search for tickets assigned to Kate.<\/li>\n<li>Priority: to search for tickets with a certain priority, type in <strong>priority:showstopper<\/strong>, <strong>priority:high<\/strong>, <strong>priority:normal<\/strong>, <strong>priority:low <\/strong>and press Enter.<\/li>\n<li>Type: search for tickets of a specific type (e.g. <strong>type:bug<\/strong>, <strong>type:change request<\/strong> or <strong>type:inspiration<\/strong>)<\/li>\n<li>Status: search for tickets with a particular status (e.g. <strong>status:to do, <strong>status:done<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Client: search for tickets assigned to a particular client (e.g. <strong>client:Futuramo<\/strong>)<\/li>\n<li>Project: search for tickets assigned to a particular project (e.g. <strong>project:landing page<\/strong>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure id=\"attachment_582\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-582\" style=\"width: 641px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-582 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/timespiritlabs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/screen_VT_4_small.png\" alt=\"Searching by the specific ticket type. \" width=\"641\" height=\"490\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-582\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Searching by the specific ticket type.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"tip-3-sorting\" class=\"post-component\">Tip 3: Sorting<\/h2>\n<p class=\"post-component text\">A third method to get the clear view is by <strong>sorting data on your tickets list<\/strong>. Have a look at the columns. One mouse click on the priority column and you will see the tickets sorted by priority with the highest priority \u2014\u00a0the infamous &#8220;showstopper &#8220;\u2014 at the top. Quick second click on the same column reverses the sorting order with the lowest priority at the top, which can be useful at times. One click on the status column and the list will show the to-do tickets right on the top of your list.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-583\" src=\"https:\/\/timespiritlabs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/screen_VT_5_small.png\" alt=\"screen_vt_5_small\" width=\"631\" height=\"537\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-component text\">You can sort out by the ticket ID (#ID), Owner (O), Updater (U), Assignee (A), Priority (P), Type (T), Status (S), Estimation (E), Name, Client\/Project Code, Date of Update, Date Created, Due Date.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"a-useful-trick\" class=\"post-component text\"><strong>A useful trick:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"post-component text\">You can <strong>use filters, search, and sorting all at once<\/strong> to search for something specific on your tickets list. Let\u2019s say, you\u2019re searching for a bug-related ticket with a typo on your website. Just enter the keyword \u201ctypo\u201d in the Search Box and pick a to-do status from the Filters Panel \u2014 that\u2019s it. Remember to reset your settings (filters, search) once you want to see all tickets again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-component text\">Visual Tickets&#8217; powerful filtering, searching and sorting features will help you organize and plan your day. By sorting out the columns, you&#8217;re putting tickets in the correct order. By using the filtering panel, you\u2019re hiding temporarily irrelevant information and revealing only the tickets you&#8217;re interested in at the moment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-component text\">Leave us a reply if you have any questions or feedback. <a href=\"https:\/\/futuramo.com\/register\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Create a free Futuramo account<\/a>\u00a0and don&#8217;t miss out on the latest updates!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The filtering, searching and sorting features make it easier to find key information.
