Searching throughout modules
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 |

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.

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.
