Searching in the Expense

Above the expense overview, you will find a filter, which can be used to narrow down the expenses displayed.

If you click directly on the text box or on the button with the magnifying glass, you have three predefined selection options:

My expenses: Displays all the expenses the logged in user has executed or, in which he has been added as a user.

All expenses: Displays all expenses of the types the logged in user has at least the right View on. This depends on the expense settings in the User Management.

Choose user: Allows for the selection of a user via a user browser The User Browser is a dialog window that displays a selection of users or groups for selection. This allows you to fill in ticket fields, for example. in order to display expenses. The display of the expenses and expense types depends on the assigned authorizations here as well.

Next to the button with the magnifying glass, you can find two further filter buttons. The first one is used for setting a filter and the second one is used to reset an already used filter. If you click on the button with the blue funnel, the dialogue for the extended filter will open:

In this filter dialogue, you have the option to compile an extended filter out of various components. The available options in the dialogue are illustrated in the following table:

Option Description
User Allows for the selection of one of the three standard filters
Project/application Select an individual project here
Cost center Select a cost center here
Allocation type Select the designated allocation type
Reference object Because expenses can be created from tickets and tasks, you can make a distinction between those two types of objects here
Reference# Here, the number of a designated reference ticket can be specified
Ticket range Allows for the filtering in a specific period

 

In this dialogue, not all the fields have to be filled in with a value. Only the relevant fields for the designated filtering have to be set. Thus, you have the option to show all expenses, which have been booked on a specific project (only the option Project/Assignment has been set), or to filter the cost center additionally to the project, for example.

The Reference object filter option will only work if a reference number (e.g., a ticket number) has been specified. If the Reference# field is left blank, the filter option is ignored.
