Search capacity across features

As a user I want to have access to the 'Search' option to view a transaction list:

The search functionality, present in the platform as a magnifying icon, is located at the top right as the first option, next to 'Notifications' and 'Settings'. It keeps present across all navigation made by the user.

By selecting it, the user will land in the listed by type SEARCH layout (see below).

SME contains more extensive filter types for advanced search compared to CONSUMER. However, the layout is the same for both platforms.

SME:

When a user uses the search option, the next fields will become available to edit or select, and the results will be shown based on filter/search transactions by using one or combined parameters.

Search by
- Text input field: the user will be able to insert free text
- Input type: string
- As contextual help by placeholder will be shown: merchant, notes, address, or concept
- Amount range: the user will find 3 different fields where amounts can be added, FROM - TO
- Input type: number, formatted to the base currency. After you add an amount the currency by default will be shown
- Find by range FROM - TO by adding the corresponding amounts:
- If the data does not accomplish FROM - TO, an 'Invalid range' error message will be shown. Therefore, FROM cannot be less than TO
- Date: label, the user will also find 2 fields, FROM - TO date
- If the data does not accomplish FROM - TO, an 'Invalid range' error message will be shown. Therefore, FROM cannot be less than TO
- Data could be introduced manually or from the date picker calendar
- The user MUST fill in at least one of the fields above to enable the Search action button
- Every new field completed will dynamically show the result on the right column
Advanced search: the user will also be able to select different parameters to get a more specific search if it's needed. The extra fields to fill in for an advanced search are:

_As a user I want to see a search result:

  • _Once a search is defined by the user, results will be visible in the right column. Depending on the selection made according to the different fields, the search will be based on:
    • If no parameters are defined yet, the user will see an empty state with copy: Your search results will appear here
    • If results are not found based on the parameters selected, they will see an empty state with copy: The filter combination has no results. Please try different criteria
    • If results are found: a list of transactions will be shown, as follows:
      • Total results of the search (left margin aligned)
      • Total amount of the search (right margin aligned)

  • The item list is grouped by date, the same as in the 'Account' movement list. Each transaction will contain:
    • Transaction title: merchant, beneficiary, sender
    • Base amount (+ or -) and base currency
      • If that's the case, the amount (+ or -) and currency
    • If expense:
      • Category icon: (if it exists; created by users)
      • Transaction title: merchant
      • Category name below transaction title (if it exists; created by users)
      • If no category was assigned, the default icon and 'uncategorised' category name will be shown

  • If Inbound:
    • Category icon (if it exists; created by the user)
    • Sender name
    • Category (if it exists below sender)

As a user, I want to reset my search:

In case a user wants to reset the search, the 'Reset' button will always be available at the bottom of the page, next to 'Export'.

Once the user selects it, any previous selection or filter will be removed and the user will be able to start again and search for new queries.
