This section replaces the previous one, named "Filters" in RMsis 1.0.0 documentation and released from RMsis 1.1.0 onwards. Search is available,
- both in the Planned and Unplanned Requirement Tables with RMsis v.1.1.0 release.
- In almost all tables and panels (where necessary) from RMsis v.1.3.0 release.
Search
The user can now search using
- Numeric part or complete Id
- Part of text in the text / rich text area fields like Requirement Summary, Description and custom fields using the search box provided.
- For searching text within a custom field of type text / rich text area, the search string should be in the format - CF:<Search_string>
In case some filters (available in column headers) are already applied, initiating a search
- will search from the filtered data set.
Filters
RMsis implements filters with some common characteristics, described below:
- RMsis filters are implemented with a universal philosophy of
- OR within a column
- AND across columns
- A filter is indicated by the presence of an icon
in a column header of a table. - Filter can be accessed by clicking on this icon, which provides multi-select options (if available).
- The filter is applied as soon as an option is selected.
- The filter drop-down can be closed by clicking on the (now changed)
icon.
A typical view from the Planned Requirements table is shown below.
Indicating Filter Status
Whenever a filter is set, the column is highlighted in a different color to indicate the same.
Reset Filter
In case the user presses "Reset Filters"
- All the filters (in column headers) will be reset.
- The search text will be cleared.
Saving Filter Status
From v.1.4.1 onwards, filter status is automatically saved by the application. We expect this to create huge improvement in usability.
Reapply Filter / Refresh Data
Wherever Refresh Button 
is provided, users can use it to refresh the data presented in the table.
