Common Tasks
Tasks usable on the Attachments, Comments, and Properties tabs, and in tables, across the Capital Teamwork workflows.
Viewing Build Lists, Designs, and Issues
Prerequisite: A project containing a build list, design, or Issue is selected.
Procedure:
- Navigation pane → click Build Lists, Designs, or Issues workflow.
- Results from the selected project display below the Filter field (see also "Designs Tabs").
- (Build Lists and Designs only) Type dropdown → Analysis, Function, Harness, Integrator, Logic, Platform, Topology — list filters accordingly.
- (Optional) Type a text string in the Filter field to narrow the list.
- To search for specific entries: click the Search Criteria icon → Search Criteria dialog box → set dropdown conditions and attribute/property values. Tip: Additional user properties can be specified in the Configuration JSON Files.
- (Designs only) Click the Folder ellipsis (
...) → Select Folder dialog to search a specific folder. - (Issues only) Click the Container ellipsis (
...) → Select Container dialog to search Issues associated with a specific design/build list — see "Associating Issues With Containers." - Click Search to filter, Reset to clear, or Cancel.
Note: Search criteria persist across new Capital Teamwork sessions.
- Select a result to display its Details tab. Tip: If an object link displays for an Issue in the Details field, click it to view that object's attributes/properties.
- Click the tabs to view/edit additional information.
Filtering Tables
Filter available designs in the Select Designs dialog box and entries in: Designs (Tabular view), Attachments, Search Results tables — using filters on the table headers.
Each filter provides a dropdown of filter conditions (e.g., "Equals," "Not Equals"; default is "Contains"). Value 1 and Value 2 text fields are case-insensitive. Each filter initially shows only Condition 1; completing it reveals Condition 2. The Join Operator (AND | OR) determines how Condition 1 and Condition 2 combine.
Prerequisite: A table with Value text fields and Filter icons under the headers is displayed.
Procedure:
- Choose a column to filter.
- Type a text string in the Value field for that column — the filter applies to the table under that column header.
