Answer

You can use search filters to locate work orders in Production Scheduling. At the top of the work orders list, there is a search filter and a search bar that you can use. See image below. 

The first search filter is a drop-down list of defined labels that refer to specific work order fields. Selecting a label from this list will instruct Production Scheduling to only search for the type of information specified by the label with any term you enter in the search bar.

For instance, if you select “Customer” from the search filter list because you are trying to filter all work orders for a specific customer you work with (e.g. “Acme”) and you enter the term “Acme” in the second search bar, then Production Scheduling will search for this term among all customer names displayed on the work order cards. The results of the search will be all work order cards for Acme.

Alternatively, if you are working with a term and you are unsure of the type of information (e.g. whether it is an Item Code or an Item Description), you can leave the first search bar as “All”, as this is the default setting of this search filter drop-down menu. This means that Production Scheduling will search for the term that you have entered in the search bar by reviewing all information that have been entered and/or displayed on work orders.
