Applying Filters to a Document or Questionnaire Grid

To narrow which documents or questionnaires are listed in a grid, you can apply an alphanumeric title filter or a column content filter.

Alphanumeric Title Filter

Use this filter to limit listed documents or questionnaires to those whose titles start with a specific letter, a specific punctuation mark or special character, or with a number.

In a document or questionnaire grid, click , and then click an available letter or character, or click # to list documents whose titles start with a number.

Note: A letter or a punctuation or special character is available only if there is at least one document or questionnaire whose title starts with that letter or character. The # is available only if there is at least one document or questionnaire whose title starts with a number character (0 through 9).

To clear the alphabetic filter, click , and then click All.

Column Content Filter

You can use a column content filter to narrow the list of documents or questionnaires to only those whose information within a column (title, version, status, etc.) matches the filter criterion for the text you type. Simple filter criteria include the following: Begins with, Contains, Doesn't contain, Ends with, Equals, Doesn't equal. You can apply a simple filter to only one column at a time.
