Data within the main grid can be filtered, which means only specific data can be selected and viewed.  Listed below are several ways in which to filter the data within the main grid:

•      Basic Filter Select

•      Custom Filter

•      Filter Builder

 

In addition to these methods, the Find feature used originally to populate the main grid is also a great way to filter data.  See the Finding and Listing Claims Records section for more information.

 

One way to filter data is to click on the Filter Select button and choose from the data value options listed in the drop-down menu.

Choosing an option from this drop-down menu will cause the grid to be repopulated with only those values that match the type selected.  For example, choosing “Property Claim” from the list of Types will only return data records that contain this value within the Type field.

 

Further, a filter information bar will be displayed just below the grid that illustrates the filter in use, an option to select other recently used filters, and several other options.

Selecting (All) from the filter options will cause all values of that type to be included within that column only.  The filter placed on other column headers will remain in effect.
