Filter, Group, and Sort Tasks

Written by Melissa Duarte

In Instinct EMR and Instinct Treatment Plan, you can filter tasks by status, group them by status, priority, or patient, and sort them within each group.


Group tasks by status, priority, or patient

Grouping organizes your task list into sections so you can see related tasks together.

  1. Open the Tasks List from the left navigation panel.

  2. Select the Filter icon → Group by

  3. Select Status, Priority, or Patient.

Instinct displays the tasks in sections based on your selection.


Sort tasks within each group

  1. Open the Tasks List from the left navigation panel.

  2. Select the Filter icon → Sort

  3. Select Due Date, Priority, Title, or Patient.

Instinct sorts tasks within each group. When two tasks tie, Instinct sorts them by due date, then by priority.


Filter tasks by status

  1. Open the Tasks List from the left navigation panel.

  2. Select the Filter icon → Filter by status

  3. Select All statuses, To-do, In progress, Completed, or Voided.

When you filter by status, Instinct shows up to 200 tasks with that status. Without a filter, the list shows up to 50 tasks.


Find the right patient by owner name

When you search for a patient, Instinct shows the owner's name under the patient's name. This appears in two places:

  • The patient picker when creating or editing a task.

  • When searching from the Practice tab.

Tasks created by automations automatically assign patients based on the automation trigger and conditions.
