Lesson 10

Chapter 5 - Tasks - Sort, Filter

You are able to sort and filter your tasks in the tables of MRSweb.

Sort
​
Sorting data makes it easier to see and review the data displayed.  

 ​​

​Here's how to sort in a table:

In the Grid view you can sort by any of the column headers.

In the example shown, in the next 2 screenshots,
we want to sort by the date the task was opened.

​To sort by a column header:
 - click on a column header (Open Date)
​ - select from the pop-up menu (Latest on Top)

i  When the Sort order is applied, you will see an arrow in the column header, indicating your selection choice (e.g. a down arrow means Latest on Top.

i Sort menu options will be slightly different, depending on the column header.


​​

The screenshot seen below is sorted by Open Date so that the listing displays task open dates with the latest date on top.

Note the down arrow in the Open Date column header.

Filter

​Filtering data separates out the unwanted information, hiding the information that doesn't meet your filter criteria.

Here's how to filter in a table:

​​In the Grid view you can filter by any of the column headers.

In the example shown in the following screenshots, we want to show only the tasks that are sales journals.  So we will filter the Type column.

1 - Right click on the column header "Status" (for our example)

2 - Select "Text Filters"

3 - Click on the "Equals" arrows to view options and make selection.  (for our example, we selected "Equals"

4 - Click on the "Text" arrows to view options and make selection (for our example, we selected "Completed")

5 - Click "Apply"

​The filtered listing will show only the completed tasks.

i Filter menu options will be slightly different, depending on the column header.

​

​Option 2:

1 - Click on the 3 dots on the top right of the Menu bar

2 - Select "Filter" from the slidebar

3 - Select "Status"

4 - Select "Completed" (for our example)
