How To

Search Transactions

Each of Pipeline's transaction search options can be useful in different ways. Whenever you search or sort transactions, you'll have the option to view the resulting list, download it as a spreadsheet, and/or save the search criteria as a shortcut for quick access to it later.

Search Active Transactions from Home Page

On the Home page, type any part of a transaction's name into the Search Active Transactions field to instantly find matching active transactions. Learn how to Search Active Transactions →

Power Search Transactions

From anywhere in Pipeline, use the transaction Power Search to either search within multiple fields at once (Address, MLS, Agent, Seller, and Buyer) or to search within a specific transaction field.

Search Multiple Fields at Once (Address, MLS, Agent, Seller, and Buyer)

When you enter your search term in Power Search, the system will search each transaction's Address, MLS, Agent, Seller, and Buyer field then return a list of transactions where your search term exists in any of those fields.

To search across multiple fields at once:

  1. Enter all or part of your search term into the Power Search field in the upper-left corner of any page in Pipeline.
  2. Click [Search] or press "Enter/Return" on your keyboard. A list of transactions where your search term exists in the Address, MLS, Agent, Seller, and Buyer fields will be displayed in the resulting list.
  3. Once your resulting list of transactions appears, if desired, use the search options on the Transactions page to further filter your results.
Search Within a Specific Field

Use the field-specific search options to search for transactions that contain information within a specific field.

To search within a specific transaction field:

  1. From the upper-left corner of any page in Pipeline, click inside the Power Search box to display the search options.
  2. Select the transaction field you want to search within, then enter your search criteria. For example, to search within the Contact field, select [Contact] then enter part of a contact's last name or email address.
  3. Click the Search icon or press "Enter/Return" on your keyboard. A list of transactions where your search term exists within the field you specified will be displayed in the resulting list.
  4. Once your resulting list of transactions appears, if desired, use the search options on the Transactions page to further filter your results.

On-Page Searching

On the Transactions page, quickly search for transactions by multiple fields at once (Address, MLS, Agent, Seller, and Buyer) or use the powerful advanced search options to refine your list of transactions by certain transaction fields and stats.

Search

Use the search field on the Transactions page to search for transactions by Address, MLS, Agent, Seller, and Buyer.

To run a quick search for transactions by multiple fields at once:

  1. Click [Transactions] from the top menu.
  2. In the search box at the top of the page, enter all or part of your search term.

More Search Options

The Transactions page offers additional search options to help you refine your transactions search. Use the search options to adjust (and optionally, save) your default list of transactions or to fine-tune the results of other searches.

To refine your transactions search:

  1. From the top of the Transactions page, click [Search] to expand the search area.
  2. Select or enter all desired search criteria for any field in the shaded search area.
  3. Click the green [Search] button. The matching transactions will be displayed in the resulting list.
Sort

Use the sort option to sort (and optionally, save) your default list of transactions or to fine-tune the results of other searches.

  2. Select your desired sort field. The resulting list of transactions will be sorted by the field you selected. If the sort field you selected wasn't already visible on the Transactions page, it will be added in place of the Close Date once you execute the sort.

Use the sort option to display a transaction field that isn't available on the Transactions page by default. When you sort by a field that isn't already visible on the Transactions page, your selected sort field will replace the Close Date.

Download a Spreadsheet Report

After you search or sort transactions, you can optionally download the resulting list as a spreadsheet.

To download a spreadsheet of your transaction search results:

  1. Once you've searched and/or sorted, click [Download].
  2. Select [Include only displayed columns] to generate a spreadsheet of results that only includes the columns displayed on the Transactions page.
    Or select [Include all transaction columns] to generate a spreadsheet of results that includes all transaction fields.
  3. Click [Download Search].
