Global search | Zoho Sprints Help

Global search

Global search in Zoho Sprints helps you refine your search results with accuracy. This search is applied to data across your workspace, allowing you to find specific information from across projects.

Let's assume you are the workspace owner and you have multiple projects catering to different streams of your business, like development, design, testing, marketing, implementation, and so on. The data associated with all these projects is available for you. However, you need to view a specific information from a particular project. You can easily eliminate the effort of finding and navigating to the required project and then finding the information. All you need to do is enter its name or ID to quickly find it. You can search the items, sprints or epics across projects or within a selected project.

The search comes equipped with an advanced search capability that incorporates a criteria pattern creator. It allows you to define the combination of criteria to the minute details to narrow down your search.
