Filters narrow the documents on screen to only those you want to see. When you have a set of filters you expect to use again, you can save it as a view and return to it at any time instead of setting the filters up each time.
Filter documents
- Go to Documents and open the location you want to filter.
- Select any of the following filters and choose the values you want:
- Name: Documents whose file name matches the text you enter.
- Type: The file format, such as PDF or Word.
- Status: The status set on the document, such as Draft.
- Classification: The type of legal document, such as Affidavit or Complaint.
- Uploader: The user who added the document.
- Tags: Tags applied to the document.
- Category: The document category set by your firm.
Applied filters show the value you selected, for example Status: Draft.
To remove a single filter, click the X on that filter. To remove all of them at once, click Clear all.
Tip: The different filters work together to continue narrowing your results, but selecting multiple values within a filter broadens your search. For example, if you select Type > Text Document and Uploader > User 1, User 2, you will see all text documents that User 1 uploaded or User 2 uploaded.
