Filtering and Sorting
Sorting with Column Filters
Above the column headers / below the toolbar on the right, there are two drop down input fields:
- Sort Table by: (preset to Ordering ascending) and
- A number (preset to 25) to display.
Sort Table by
These column sorting input fields display the current method of sorting applied to the list. Use the drop down field choices and click the column heading name. Alternatively, click on the column heading to sort the list by that column’s value. This will also change the value in the drop field to match with the column header name. The list will then be sorted in order by that column and a sort icon (up or down arrow) will show next to the column name. Click a second time to reverse the sort, which will change the corresponding drop field.
Number
If there are more items than you choose in the drop down with the number, you can use the page navigation buttons located at the bottom of the page (Start, Prev, Next, End, and page numbers) to navigate between pages.
List Filters
The List Filters above the column headers / below the toolbar on the left side. These filters are a series of controls that let you limit what items are displayed in the manager screen list. More than one filter may be entered. In this case, only items that meet all of the filter conditions will show on the list.
To start filtering items, you must select an item type (Articles, Contacts, News feeds, etc.) and a Language.
After that, several filters can be applied by clicking the search tools.
