Search and Retrieval Overview

All the information in FYI is displayed on the Lists and Workspaces which are accessed from the menu options.

All lists initially display with default selections. You can then make .selections to search for, sort and filter the information. The lists will only find anything that you have permission to access.

You can use Search, Sort and Filter options to find information.

• You can change the order in which columns display within that list by dragging and dropping a column.
  
  
• There are various ways to search for information. You can select a View in the drop-down at the top of the lists to choose what to display. For example, you can select a specific Cabinet, or select a 'View' such as the "All" in the document lists, or "My recently used" for the clients you have used recently.
