Filter by Column

When the libraries become heavily populated it can be difficult to find the exact information you are after. For example you might only want to see files your colleague has created. Sorting can only help you organise by one column at a time. Filtering, however, will allow you to refine multiple columns,.allowing you to view the subset of information that you are after in a quick and effective manner.

By clicking on the Filter icon  in the Task Bar. The options, however, are limited to certain types of column.

You can apply filters to more than one column until you have the subset of information you require. More advanced filtering can be set up using a view. Navigating away from a library and returning to it or changing your view will reset your filters.

To apply filters to a column, follow these steps:

	Navigate to the desired library
	Click on a column header
	On the drop down menu select Filter By
	The filter pane opens at the right hand edge of the window
	Select one or more criteria from the list
	Click on Apply to action the filter and close the pane
	To change or remove a filter, actions Steps 2 to 6 again
	Use the Clear filters icon  to remove all filters
