XTM Cloud 13.5

Advanced search tab

To display the Advanced search tab screen, from the top navigation bar, select Projects and then Project list > Advanced search.

If you have set the default project filter, whenever you log in to XTM Cloud, you see the Advanced search tab screen. In it, the default filter and its results are displayed.

Note

If you have NOT set a default project filer, whenever you log in to XTM Cloud, you see the Simple search tab screen.

XTM Cloud keeps and displays your most recent advanced search results, in the most recent sorting order, with the most recently selected filter values, when:

  • you switch between the Project list subtabs during the same logging session.

  • you switch to a different XTM Cloud tab, and then go back to one of the Project list subtabs during the same session.

In the top part of the Advanced search tab screen, you see the advanced search filters. If they are not displayed automatically, select Advanced search caret-down-solid_black.svg to expand this section. To hide it, select Advanced search caret-up-solid.svg. In the bottom left-hand corner of the section, you see these buttons:

  • Search – once you select the relevant filters, select this button to apply them. When you do so, the Advanced searching label is displayed on the right-hand side of the screen, and:

    • if you have previously performed a search in the Simple search tab screen, the buttons are deactivated and the text field is cleared. The simple search results will be displayed again, when you select the close icon close_X-mark_from-UX-team.svg on the right-hand side of the Advanced searching label.

    • if you have previously selected a project filter from the Filters dropdown, or a project group from the Groups dropdown, their results are replaced by your new search. To restore their results, select the relevant project filter or project group from the relevant dropdown list again.

    • if you have a default project filter, it is temporarily deactivated and the Advanced searching label is displayed on the right-hand side of the screen. To restore it, select it again from the Filters or the Groups dropdown, depending on how the default filter has been created. Alternatively, log in to XTM Cloud again.

  • Save as – this button becomes active when you select any filter. Select it to save the advanced search results as a smart project filter or as a project group.

  • Reset search – select this button to clear the applied filters. This option also works if you have filtered projects in the Simple search tab and then moved to the Advanced search tab. As a result, the value Active projects is automatically selected from the Project status dropdown list and the Advanced searching label is displayed on the right-hand side of the screen.

In the top right-hand corner of the Advanced search tab screen, you see the Add project button. Use it to create a new project.

If you have purchased one of the license types with word limit (for details see Licensing), you see the following below the Add project button:

  • Processed words – this shows information about the number of processed words which have already been used in your XTM Cloud instance from your:

    • monthly allowance – in the case of Freelance or Group accounts.

    • yearly allowance – in the case of Enterprise, Business, or Team accounts.

  • Renewal date – this is the date by which you need to renew your XTM Cloud subscription.

In the center of the Advanced search tab screen, you see a list of projects that meet your search criteria. You can manage columns and information displayed in the tooltips in the project list.

In the bottom left corner of the Advanced search tab screen, below the project list, you see how many entries it contains. You can set the number of entries that are displayed on one page to:

  • 20.

  • 50.

  • 100.
