Any column that can be filtered displays a Filter dot in the column heading (to the left of the column name). In the following example, a filter can be applied to Type, Client or Year. When the Filter dot is grey, no filters have been applied to that column.

2. To add a filter, click the - (minus).
   Any filters that have been applied display with a green tick. The following example shows the filter for the Document Type where Email has been selected.
