Filtering Data List View

In each Data List View on Dragon1, items can be searched and filtered in several ways.

Use the following steps to open a Data List View on Dragon1:

  • Log in.
  • Click on 'Collaboration' on the left side menu.
  • Click on 'Data Dashboard' to open the Data Dashboard.
  • Click on any tile (e.g. Applications) to open a Data List View.

Use the search bar

Using the search bar, items can be filtered by specifying a search term in the box. All items containing the search term will be shown on the list. Furthermore, the filtering can be narrowed down by specifying a state (all, past, current, future).

By clicking the 'Tags' button in the top button bar, items can be filtered by clicking one or more system or data tags. The search bar can also be used to enter a search term to narrow down the number of items found.
