Filtering ListsIn a List page you can quickly filter the records in the list in two ways:
By default, list pages show the Alpha Search controls, but you can click the filter toggle icon to show the Quick Filter controls. To switch back to the Alpha Search controls, you can click the ABC icon. The search controls that are displayed persist across different sessions. For more advanced filtering, you can also filter the list by clicking the Menu button in the title bar, and clicking Refine List. You can also restrict the records that are searched by selecting a book or user from the Look in selector. For more information, see Using the Look In Selector. Alpha SearchWith Alpha Search you can:
Alpha Search is case insensitive and does not affect the Refine list search criteria. Occasionally, the Alpha bar is not active—its characters are not hyperlinks—because the default sort order is on a column that the Alpha bar does not work with. For example, the default sort order for the Deleted Items page is on the Type column, which is not sortable. Therefore, the Alpha bar is not active. However, if you click the Name column header, the data is sorted, and then the Alpha bar is activated. Quick Filter SearchWith Quick Filter search you can filter the list to show records where a selected field meets particular filter criteria. You select values from left-to-right in three drop-down lists to specify respectively the search field, filter condition, and filter value. The values available in the filter condition drop-down vary according to what you select in the search field. For information about the filter conditions available, see About Filter Conditions. The fields that are available in the search fields drop-down list are those that are optimized for fast lookup, plus any additional fields that your administrator has specified. The filter value field changes to match the field type. For example, a calendar icon is displayed when you want to select a date, and a telephone icon is displayed when you want to specify a telephone number. The filter value field is hidden when no value is required with the filter condition. For text and telephone fields, you can use wildcards, see About Filter Values.
