# Searching for Tasks

ASM Core enables you to search for tasks and/or approvals using a variety of search criteria. This search function includes the ability to select both high- and low-level criteria to filter your search. You can, for example, search for tasks completed by a particular analyst, for a specific client and after a certain date.

### Workload Search

You can view your tasks in the workload easily by [viewing your outstanding items](/asm-hermes/use-asm/using-asm-core/getting-started/searching-for-items/outstanding-item-searches.md).

### Quick Search

If you know the number of the task or approval you want to view, use the Quick Search field on the toolbar ![](/files/dyDn7Ti36cM3P8XOrBZZ)

1. If the number you enter matches more than one entity (such as a KB, or a call number), a drop down will appear. Select **Task** in drop-down field.
2. The **Task Details** window for the corresponding task or approval appears.
