Document Lists

Within each Workspace, documents, emails and tasks in FYI are displayed and accessed from Lists. These lists display information in columns and are used in the same way throughout FYI.

Expanding the Name Column

On Documents, Clients and Job lists, and in lists such as Home - My Recent and In Tray, you can expand the Name column by clicking the Expand icon in the column heading. This is useful if the Document, Client or Job has a long name, and also when searching to see which of the documents, clients or jobs you are looking for in the search results. Click the Expand icon again to return to the usual column width.

If you are saving the view, it can be saved with the Name column expanded by saving the view with Save Advance Search selected. Refer to Saving Changes to the View Layout, Modifying and Deleting Views.

Using the Client Name as a Hyperlink

Wherever the Client Name displays in a List, this is a hyperlink that you can click on to navigate to the relevant Client Workspace.

Navigating to a Client Workspace is a useful way to display all the information for that client in a single click.

Views

At the top of lists is a View drop-down which show the views that can be selected for that list.

The options available for a view is specific to what displays in the list. For example, in a Documents list, you can select options such as such as "All" (which is the default), "Deleted",  "Emails - Sent","Emails - Received", "Emails - Draft", "Mail Register - Sent", "Mail Register - Received", "Mail Register - Draft", "Workflow - Pend. Approval", "Workflow - Pend. Signature" (where the workflow Status is "Pending Client Signature"). Whereas in a Task list, you can use the view drop-down to select a view such as "Incomplete Tasks", "My Tasks".

In the Documents lists, the "Emails -Sent" or "Emails - Received" views display the view with the Delivery column. This shows whether the email was sent or received. "Emails - Draft" displays all emails that are still in draft.

You can use the Mine button to display documents where you are the Owner. See Mine below.

The Mail Register views show the delivery status of all non-email documents. "Mail Register - Sent" and "Mail Register - Received" are registers of all non-email documents that have been sent or received. "Mail Register - Draft" is a register of all non-email documents that have a Delivery status of "Draft" that is or blank. Refer to Emails Sent, Received and Draft and Mail Register Views.

Mail Register - By Reference displays all non-email documents and includes the FYI Reference number. Refer to Unique Document Reference Number.

The Workflow views include the Workflow column and some have filters applied such as  "Pending Approval" or "Pending Client Signature".

Depending on how this has been set for your own practice, the view you select in a particular list will be the default for the rest of the session, or when you log out and log in again. Refer to Sticky Views.

You can also create custom Views (refer to Saving Changes to the View Layout, Modifying and Deleting Views).

Using the Mine Button

You can set the Mine button on the Documents or Clients - Documents lists to display any documents or emails that have your name recorded as Owner.

Displaying Starred Documents

You can set the Starred button on the Documents or Clients - Documents lists to display any documents or emails that you have marked as Starred. Refer to Marking and Displaying Starred Documents.

Note: Starred functions are only available if your FYI subscription level is "Professional". Refer to Subscribing to an FYI Plan.

Selecting Documents in a List

You need to select a document in a list before you can perform certain functions on it. You can select a single document in a list and you can also select multiple documents. When you select a single document, the Drawer automatically displays for that document. When one or more document is selected, functions display in the Tool Bar and some functions are only available when multiple documents are selected. Refer to Selecting Documents in a List and Tool Bar and Right-Click Functions.

Refreshing a View

You can refresh a view. This can be used when you want to instantly update a list of documents for an update that has happened in the background. For example, when you have filed an email from your Outlook inbox that you have open.

Exporting a List

List Icons

Within each Workspace, Lists use icons to provide additional information about documents, emails and tasks.

Hovering the mouse pointer over the icon displays a description and additional information, such as:

• the number of Tasks pending
• the user who is editing the document
• the number of emails in the thread.
