All columns, types, and operators

You can use the find query language together with all columns, types and operators in Hansoft.

All columns in Hansoft have a type associated with it, which defines the type of data the column contains and which operators you can use to search in it. For example, the columns Work remaining and Earned Value have the type Hours, while the Detailed description, Item name and Comments columns are of the Text type.

Keywords and parameters can be explicitly typed. This means that when Hansoft evaluates the find query it will override the type that would otherwise have been assigned to the keyword or parameter. For example, you might want to explicitly type a keyword to Text, which will avoid it only finding items assigned to a user with the same name you want to search for as text in other fields.

For more information on how to search within specific types of column, see Column types.

Note:  You can view the query syntax associated with each column in the report editor.
