Overview
You can filter work orders by start date on mobile — from the quick filter bar for fast access, or the full Filters panel for more options. Choose from preset ranges like today, this week, or set a custom date range.
How to Use the Start Date Filter
Quick Filter Bar
Open the Work Order list.
In the quick filter bar, tap Start Date.
Select a date range option from the list,
or choose Custom to pick a specific start and end date.
The list updates immediately to show matching work orders.
Main Filter Sheet
Open the Work Order list.
Tap the filter icon to open the full filter sheet.
Scroll to the Start Date section.
Select a date range option
or choose Custom to enter a date range.
Click Done to apply the filter.
Filter Toggles
When using the start date filter, two additional toggles control which work orders are included:
Toggle | Default | What it does |
Include Past Start Dates | On | Includes work orders whose start date has already passed |
Include No Start Date | On | Includes work orders that have no start date set |
Both toggles are on by default. With both toggles on and no date range selected, the filter shows all work orders. Turn a toggle off to narrow results — for example, turn off Include No Start Date to see only work orders that have a start date assigned.
Important Notes
Start date is not required — work orders do not need a start date. Use the Include No Start Date toggle to control whether these appear in filtered results.
Filter resets each session — the start date filter does not carry over when you close and reopen the app.
Use Cases
See what starts today — Select Today from the quick filter bar to view all work orders scheduled to start today. Turn off Include Past Start Dates to exclude overdue ones.
Plan the week ahead — Select Current Week to see everything starting this week and prioritize accordingly.
Custom date range — Select Custom to view work orders starting between any two dates, useful for planning a specific project window.
Troubleshooting
Issue: The filter is not narrowing results as expected.
Solution: Check whether Include Past Start Dates and Include No Start Date are both on — with both enabled and no date range selected, all work orders will show. Select a date range and turn off either toggle to narrow results.
Issue: My filter settings disappeared after closing the app.
Solution: The start date filter does not persist between sessions. This is by design — re-apply the filter each time you open the app.
Summary
Use the quick filter bar or the Filters panel to narrow work orders by start date. Choose a preset range like Today or Current Week, or set a custom date range. The Include Past Start Dates and Include No Start Date toggles are on by default — turn either off to refine your results. The filter resets each session.
