Viewing and Navigating Board Search Results
📌 Summary
After submitting a board-based query in Ontraccr’s Advanced Search, the system returns a detailed, board-specific breakdown of results. This article explains how to navigate the results, explore cards, and access deeper information directly from the search interface.
🧭 Results Layout: Boards & Stages
When your board query completes, the results are grouped by board and stage.
🔹 At the Top Level:
- Each board included in your query appears as its own section.
- You’ll see how many matching cards exist per board.
- Example:
- PMA Dispatch → 20 matches
- PMA Archive → 1 match
- Example:
🔹 Within Each Board:
- Expand the board using the chevron (▸) icon.
- Results are further grouped by stage/column within the board.
- You can see the number of cards in each stage.
📋 Visible Card Data
Within each stage, the following is displayed for each matching card:
- Status (e.g. unassigned, in progress)
- Custom fields (based on card design)
- Card number
- Linked users or details (if part of design)
- How long the card has been in that status
Example fields shown in the session:
Patrol
PMA Type
Old Date Due
Work Instructions
(Exact fields vary by card template)
✏️ Interacting With Cards
Each card in the search results offers the following actions:
🔹 Edit the Card
- Click the Edit icon to open the card in editable mode.
- You can update fields directly from the search screen.
🔹 View the Card
- Click the Card number to open the card in read-only view mode.
- This mimics how the card appears on the actual board.
🔄 This gives you full access to card data without navigating back to the board view.
