Navigating the Test Report Table

Learn how to search, filter, sort, and export your submitted backflow test reports — plus what each status means.

Who this article is for: Service Providers

Overview

The Test Reports page is your single home for every report you've ever started or submitted in SwiftComply. This article shows you how to find a specific report, narrow the table down to what matters, sort and customize columns, export your data to CSV, and quickly understand each status label.

Opening the Test Report Table

  1. From the left navigation, click Test Reports.

  2. The page loads with the heading Test Reports and a button labeled New Test Report in the top right.

  3. If your company has reports waiting on payment, you'll see a notice next to the heading like "(3 test reports pending payment across all companies you're connected with)".

The table that loads shows your reports with these default columns:

  • Result

  • Status

  • Serial Number

  • Type

  • Location Name

  • Address

  • City

💡 Tip: Click any row to open the report's details in a slide-out panel without leaving the table.

Searching the table

The search bar sits at the top-left of the table toolbar (magnifying glass icon).

  1. Click into the search bar.

  2. Search defaults to Serial Number. To search by a different field, click the dropdown arrow on the right side of the search bar and select the field you want — like Address or Location Name. Then type your search in the field and click Save.

  3. To clear the search, click the X (Clear) icon on the right side of the search bar.

💡 Tip: You can stack multiple search terms — pick one field, type a value, then add another field with another value to narrow results further.

Filtering the table

Filters give you preset ways to narrow the report list without typing.

  1. Click the Filters icon (funnel) in the table toolbar. The tooltip reads Table Filters.

  2. A dropdown opens with a Main Filters section containing the available filters for this report (such as Active, Has Discrepancies, My Reports, and Reported On After / Reported On Before dates).

  3. Set the filters you want.

  4. Click Save to apply, or Clear to remove all filters at once.

When filters are active, hovering over the funnel button shows the number of active filters (for example, "2 Active Filter/s"), and an X appears next to it to clear them.

⚠️ Note: If a filter dropdown shows "There are currently no filters for this report," it means no filter inputs have been configured for this view — search and column sorting still work.

Sorting columns

  1. Click any column header to sort by that column.

  2. Click again to flip between ascending and descending order.

Sorting works on any column shown in the table — including Status, Result, Serial Number, and date fields.

Customizing visible columns

You can add or hide columns to fit how you work.

  1. Click the Table Options icon (gear) in the toolbar.

  2. A checkbox list appears with every column available for this report.

  3. Check the columns you want to show; uncheck the ones you want to hide.

  4. Click Save to apply, or Close to back out without changes.

Your column choices are remembered the next time you open the page.

Exporting to CSV

You can export the table to a CSV file.

  1. Click the Export icon (download arrow) in the toolbar. The tooltip reads Export to CSV.

  2. In the Export Columns dropdown, choose what to include:

  • All — every column available for this report, even ones you've hidden.

  • All Standard + Visible Details — every standard column plus any detail columns you currently have visible. (Only shown when detail columns are available.)

  • Only Visible — only the columns currently shown in your table.

  1. Click Export. A CSV file downloads to your computer.

  2. Click Cancel to close the menu without exporting.

💡 Tip: The export respects your current search and filters.

Understanding test report statuses

The Status column tells you exactly where each report is in its lifecycle. Here's what each one means for you:

Status

Color

What it means

In Progress

Gray

You've started the report but haven't submitted it yet. Open it to keep filling it out.

Submitted

Gray

You've submitted the report and it's waiting for the city or water utility to review. (Hover for the tooltip "Submitted For Review".)

Accepted

Green

The reviewing agency accepted the report. The assembly's compliance is updated.

Rejected

Red

The reviewing agency rejected the report. Open it to view it, or click New Report At Same Location to start a new report.

Pending Payment

Orange

The report is finished but waiting on payment before it can be submitted for review.

💡 Tip: Status is one of the search bar's fields, and clicking the Status column header sorts the table by status.

Row actions

Click any row to open the report. What you can do from there depends on the status:

  • In Progress — Continue Filling Out Report, Submit Report, or delete it.

  • Pending Payment — Reset to In Progress to unsubmit and edit again.

  • Submitted, Accepted, or Rejected — View Report (read-only) and Download Report (PDF).

  • From any status, you can click New Report At Same Location to start a fresh report at that property.

FAQ

Q: I can't find a report I know I submitted. Where is it?

A: Clear all active filters (click the funnel icon, then Clear), clear the search bar, and check the Status column. The report may be filtered out by a search or a filter you set earlier.

Q: Why doesn't my CSV include every available column?

A: You probably chose Only Visible at export time. Re-export and pick All to get every column the report tracks.

Q: How do I get back to the default columns?

A: Click the Table Options gear, uncheck any columns you added, and re-check the defaults: Result, Status, Serial Number, Type, Location Name, Address, and City.

Q: A report shows Pending Payment — does the city see it?

A: No. Pending Payment means it hasn't been submitted for review yet. The city/utility only sees it once it moves to Submitted.

Q: Can I sort by more than one column at a time?

A: No — sorting applies to one column at a time.
