Queries

Queries (main menu) is the tool for seeing the work of all your projects at once, filtering it and taking it to Excel. It answers questions such as “which tasks are overdue across the whole portfolio?”, “which critical issues are still open?” or “how many hours did Marta Ortega log in September?”. It has three tabs: Tasks, Time entries and Issues.

PMOrganisation member

Only the PM (within their scope) and organisation members with a team role marked “whole organisation” (for example, a CEO; see Organisation members (CEO)) can get in. A Consultant/Developer sees “You don't have access to this section: it's only for PMs and organisation members (team role marked “whole organisation”, e.g. CEO).”. Their personal view is My work. Access is also checked on the server, export included.

What data each person sees

Who What the tables include
PM Tasks and issues of the projects they see in full (their own and those where they are in the team at Director or Team Leader level), plus any directly assigned to them in other projects
“Whole organisation” member (CEO) Everything in all the organisation's projects

The Project selector offers “All my projects” (PM) or “All organisation projects” (CEO) and the list of projects in that scope. If someone else's project is typed into the address by hand, it simply returns no rows: it is never widened to the full scope.

How searching works: the “Search” button

All the filters are a draft: changing them changes nothing until you click Search (or press Enter in the code field). When you open the tab nothing is queried and you read “Adjust the filters and press Search to see results.”. This is deliberate: a query over “the whole scope” is heavy, so you only run it when you need it.

  • The filters are saved in the page address (URL parameters), so you can bookmark a search or send it to a colleague with the same role.
  • With results, the table has a limited height and scrolls inside.
  • With no results: “No tasks match these filters.” (or issues / time entries). If there are no active filters and there is still nothing: “You haven't created any tasks yet.” / “You haven't created any issues yet.”.

Tasks tab

Route /consultations. Table columns: full code, task, project, phase, status, priority, assignees, hours (logged / estimated), dates (start → due), progress and deliverable. To the right of the title there is the List | Kanban switch (see Kanban boards); when you switch to Kanban the chosen project is kept.

Task filters, one by one

Filter What it does
Code Accepts T0003 (that task in any project), P02600001 (all the tasks in that project) or P02600001-T0003 (one exact task)
Project Restricts to one project; changing it clears the phase
Phase Disabled while there is no project (“Select a project”); lists the project's phases and sub-phases (indented)
Status By status name (statuses are per project: “In progress” counts in every project that has a status with that name). Only statuses that exist in the chosen scope appear
Priority Low, Medium, High or Critical
Assignee One person, with or without an account. Only people with at least one task in the scope appear
Overdue A toggle button: due date before today and a non-final status (it does not depend on the “Finished” tick box)
Unassigned Button: tasks with no assignee at all
From / To Due date range (both inclusive). A task with no due date drops out as soon as either one is filled in

The filters combine with “and”. “Overdue” and “Unassigned” together give the overdue tasks that also have nobody assigned.

Tasks tab filters with some applied

Time entries tab

Route /consultations/time-entries. Table of the hours logged on the scope's tasks and issues. Its filters are Code, Project, Phase, Person (whose hours they are), Logged by, From and To; by default it shows the last 90 days. It is described in detail in Time entries. It is exported like the other tabs.

Issues tab

Route /consultations/incidents. Table with code, title, project, phase, status, severity, priority, assignees, hours, and detection and closing dates. It also has the List | Kanban switch.

Filter What it does
Code I0003, P02600001 or P02600001-I0003
Project / Phase As for tasks. An issue's phase is its own or, if it has none, that of its linked task
Status By name, from the organisation's issue status catalogue
Severity Low, Medium, High or Critical
Assignee / Unassigned As for tasks
From / To Detection date range (both inclusive)

There is no “overdue” or priority filter on this tab.

Exporting to Excel

The Export to Excel button (top right of each tab) downloads an .xlsx file with exactly what you see in the table: it uses the same filters as the last search run, not those you have half-set in the draft. It is disabled until you click Search. If you change a filter and do not click Search, the file is still the one from the previous search.

Tab Sheet File name Columns
Tasks Tasks tasks_YYYY-MM-DD.xlsx Code (full, P02600001-T0003), Task, Project, Phase, Status, Priority, Assignees, Start → due, Hours, Progress, Deliverable
Time entries Time entries time-entries_YYYY-MM-DD.xlsx Code, Person, Project, Task / Issue, Date, Hours
Issues Issues issues_YYYY-MM-DD.xlsx Code, Title, Project, Phase, Status, Severity, Priority, Assignees, Hours, Detected, Closed

Format details:

  • The first row is the header, in bold. The texts (columns, default statuses, priorities, dates) come out in your language, and the file name carries today's date.
  • The hours are written as the text “logged / estimated” (for example, 18.0 / 24.0, with one decimal) or “logged / not estimated”; the progress as “60 %”; empty assignee or deliverable cells as “—”.
  • In time entries, the Person column adds “(no account)” when the hours belong to a person without an account, and “(logged by …)” when another person logged them (for example, the PM on their behalf).
  • Because the figures are text with units, you have to split them to add them up in Excel; if you need totals, use Reports or the hours table.
