Filters and items

Narrow every page to the work you care about, then open single items to see exactly what happened to them.

Use filters to look at just the work you care about, such as one region or last quarter. Open a single item to see exactly what happened to it.

A filter narrows every page that works on items at once: Process, Variants, Measure, Conformance and Items. Returning to Overview clears the item filter so it shows the whole project. Each filter shows as a chip at the top of the page. Select the x on a chip to remove it, or Clear all to go back to everything.

Items filtered to purchase orders that include Receive Goods and follow one of the top three routes

You add filters in three ways:

  • + Filter at the top right of the page.
  • From a finding, a bar in Measure, a variant or a subway line. These set the filter for you.
  • By asking your agent: “only look at invoices over $10,000 from the east region”. The open page applies it for you.

The + Filter menu open on the Items page

Filter Use it for Example
When items started A time period Only orders created in Q3
At least or at most a value Amounts and other numbers Invoices of $10,000 or more
Went through, skipped, or repeated a step Items with or without a step Orders that had Change Price
Faster or slower than Speed Items that took more than 30 days
Only the most common variants The main routes, without the long tail The top 5 variants
A field such as region or vendor Any extra column Region is East
Someone who worked on the item (Handled by) People or teams Items handled by the AP team
First or last step / one step before another Order of steps Items where Pay came before Approve
Leave out incomplete items Only finished work Leave out items still in progress

Some columns change during an item’s life, such as a status. A filter on such a field has two choices:

  • Had at any step: the item had that value at some point. Ever on hold catches every order that was ever on hold.
  • Latest value is: only the value the item ended with.

An export covers a time window. Items that started before it, or had not finished by its end, can make times look shorter than they are. Leave out incomplete items offers Complete only, or only items that began inside the window.

The Items page lists the individual work items in your current filter: each order, invoice or ticket. Select one to see its full history:

One purchase order opened: every step with its time, who did it and how it differs from the usual route

  • every step, in order, with the time between steps
  • who did each step, when your data says so
  • how it differs from the usual route (Compared with the usual route)
  • Show on the process map to draw this one item on the map
  • Source details for the original record values

Times between steps are clock time, not hands-on work.
