Summary: Episode 144: Inside Buildertrend – global search Every other Thursday, we’ll give our listeners a glimpse into the inner workings of our business with our new “Inside Buildertrend” series on “The Building Code.” What are our teams working on? What features are coming up and how will they benefit our users? What data and research are being collected behind the scenes? Tune in as we take a look inside Buildertrend. How will the new Global Search feature help our customers? On the fourth episode of “Inside Buildertrend,” Josh Swenson, senior product manager, joins Zach and Charley to talk about the release of the highly anticipated Global Search feature. Hear how the addition of Global Search within Buildertrend will simplify the way contractors and their teams find project information. What are the key takeaways? What is Global Search?: Global Search is a new search feature within Buildertrend that allows our users to search a variety of things. It'll let them search almost anything from almost anywhere in the platform. It gives users that direct connection to the job information they're looking for quickly. How is it beneficial for users?: The search feature is available across almost every section in the platform that makes sense to users. The search extends beyond just the job title to cover as much of the platform as possible, reaching several different features. A user can also comb through notes and other fields with the new search to find what they're looking for. What’s coming next?: There are a number of different phases for this project. Several have been completed, but there are more coming down the pike in terms of adding additional functionality and validating some functionality based on customer feedback. There’s also work being done to extend Global Search to additional features that reach further into the platform. Why is this cool for Buildertrend users? Time. This feature saves our users precious time. Time is money, and by making it easier to find important information within Buildertrend, we’re removing several steps throughout their day – allowing them to get back to work faster.
