There are two main tabs used for searching projects: My Projects and Search.
Search
The Search panel allows users to search across all ISO projects using multiple search criteria at once. You may enter any necessary search criteria in the Search panel and then click the Search button found at the bottom of the screen to display the corresponding results. The various search options are described in the screenshot below:
By default, the filter Active/Preliminary/Published is selected. This means cancelled projects and withdrawn standards are excluded from the search by default.
When you select one or more filters, projects and/or standards will only appear in the search results if they match all selected filters. That means, by selecting additional filters, you reduce the number of projects shown.
When you select the option Action required, only projects & standards that have a pending action from the secretariat will be shown. Stabilized filter is only applicable for JTC 1 standards.
| Action required | Show projects & standards that require an action from the Committee manager/ PC secretary |
| Active/Preliminary/Published | Show all projects and standards, except those cancelled and withdrawn (stages 00.00 to 60.60 + 90.20, 90.93 and 90.60) |
| Cancelled/Withdrawn | Show all cancelled and withdrawn projects and/or standards (stages xx.98 and 95.99) |
| Open/Closed ballots | Show all current and closed ballots (stages XX.20 and XX.60) |
| Planned ballots | Show all planned ballots (any stage having a planned ballot date on a stage xx.20) |
| Published | Show all published standards, including confirmed (stages 60.60 and 90.93) |
| Stabilized (only available for ISO/EC JTC 1 committee) | Show all ISO/IEC JTC 1 stabilized standards |
| Under development | Show all active and preliminary projects (stages 00.00 to 60.00, excluding 00.98) |
| With Corrigenda/Amendment | Show projects and standards only projects which have amendment/corrigenda associated |
| With Online Document | Show all projects that are working with online documents (OSD) |
| With alert | Show all projects that are registered in critical or warning status |
By default, the search includes Corrigenda and Amendments. To exclude them from the search result, deselect the corresponding tick box.
Find projects and standards by Committee
Type the committee number in the Committee filter field. Projects & standards of all the committee's subcommittees can be included under the technical committee search by ticking the Include SCs checkbox.
| My committees | List of the committees where the user has a role as committee officer. |
| Concerned committees | List of the committees related to My committees such as subcommittees, committees in liaison, etc. |
| Other committees | List of all committees except My committees and Concerned committees. |
Find projects and standards using stages
If you are searching for projects and/or standards in a specific stage, you have the option to select the parent stage (i.e. all projects in stage 10) or a specific sub-stage (i.e. only projects in stage 10.20). You may select multiple stages at once if needed.

Save your search as predefined search
You can save your search criteria as Predefined search. Predefined searches will give you quick access to the information most important to you without having to recreate the search each time.
The next time you click the Search tab, you will see a list of all your predefined saved searches. If you click one, you will automatically see updated search results of all projects & standards fitting the saved criteria.
When a saved search is no longer useful you can delete it using the bucket icon. You may share your saved search by clicking on the three dots icon . This icon will generate a URL that you can copy and send to any ISO Projects user. If the user finds the search useful, the user may choose to save this as a predefined search.
My projects
My Projects tab is the homepage in ISO Projects. For committee officers, all projects & standards registered under a committee in which you have a role are displayed in My Projects by default. If you do not have a role in any committee, this is empty.
You will find the same available search options as described in the Search tab under the My Projects tab. The only difference is that My Projects automatically prefills the committee field with all committees for which you have a role.You can save any search criteria you have entered in My Project search panel as a predefined search.
Search results
The number of projects & standards displayed per page within the search results is limited to 10. To navigate to another page within the results, click on the page numbers available on the bottom of your screen.
Search results can be exported as an Excel file. This report is available through the action menu found on the top right of your screen
By default, the search results sorts projects & standards according to their criticality. You change the sort order by selecting another from the available list of options, including:
- Reference: the reference of the project & standards (e.g. ISO/DIS 9001)
- Stage: current stage of the project & standards (e.g. 30.60)
- Stage since: the date when the project or the standard was registered at the current stage. The date is displayed as YYYY-MM-DD
- Registered for: the amount of time the project/standard has been registered at the current stage. This period is displayed in months, or in days if less than one month
- Alert severity: this criterion is only applicable for projects that are flagged as critical or warning , or have been cancelled in the last past twelve months.
- Project ID: this is the unique ISOCS database number allocated to the project. This is mainly used by ISOCS staff.
All Sort by criteria can be selected as ascending or descending.
