Smart tables can be used to filter information when searching Contacts, Jobs, Tasks, Users and viewing Form Templates.
You can customise your search by selecting what columns you want to show, selecting what filters you want to apply to the search and once you have customised the table display, you can click on the Views button and save the View so that it will retain the changes you made every time you go to that table..
Searching by date range is also possible in filters or by selecting date range with the pre-filled ranges.
You can also Export a CSV file of the list you are with the very convenient Export function in Smart Tables.
