Searching clients

Once you've got twenty, a hundred, or a thousand clients in the database, scrolling stops being practical. Bulido gives you two ways to find a contact fast: the search box and sorting.

Above the client list you'll find a Search clients field. Type a fragment of any of these four:

  • First name: e.g. Anna.
  • Last name: e.g. Smith.
  • Phone: e.g. 504.
  • Email: e.g. gmail.

You need at least 2 characters for filtering to kick in. Results show as you type, no need to hit "search".

If nothing matches, you'll see No clients found for "{query}". Clear the query with Clear search.

Sorting

On the desktop table view, the clickable column headers control the order of the list:

  • Client: A–Z / Z–A: alphabetically by first and last name.
  • Created date: newest / oldest: when the client was added.

The list starts sorted from newest. Clicking a header switches the sort column; clicking the same header again reverses the direction. There is no sort control on mobile. To order the list by name, open Bulido in a desktop browser.

If you can't remember whether you're after a client or a quote, use global search in the top bar of the dashboard (available from any page). It searches clients, quotes, and projects all at once. The field needs at least 2 characters.
