Search/Filter Function

To find a specific setting in System Settings, we have introduced a search/filter function. You will find this function in any area where data is presented in a spreadsheet-like view.

To find the setting you are looking for, simply type the name in the search bar at the top of the list in System Settings, and ftrack Studio will instantly filter the list, displaying only the results that match your input.
