Lastly, the "All of this center" view also has a search field in the top bar, allowing you to filter by consultant names or the location field [[TracCloud:_Staff_and_Consultants\|in consultant records]]. Preceding your search with "=" will look for an exact match. E.g., "red" will return "red" and "redrock", but "=red" will only return "red." You can also search for multiple values with commas (when not using '='), such as "dave,jane" to return both Dave and Jane's schedules. The latter is commonly used if you need to click-and-drag an appointment between their calendars.
