Search string

Enter search items to query against client, engagement, engagement manager, project, project manager, project stage, resource, department and title. It is possible to do both "or" and "and" searches in the report, but the functionality is limited (there is no way to group expressions with parentheses). Use the "|" character between items to mean "or", a set of space-separated tokens means "and", with no implied order.

Include projects with % likelihood >=

Enter a numeric percentage likelihood based on Project Stage. Use this setting as a filter to include/exclude projects above or below a particular stage.
