Set up and filter columns

Customize how binders appear in FileRoom by choosing which columns to display, resizing and sorting them, and filtering the data to find specific binders. Your settings apply only to your own view.
In FileRoom, you can use columns to view your binders and find particular binders. Using
COLUMN SETUP
, you can choose which columns are visible. You can also change the width of your columns, sort the data in the columns, and filter the columns. These settings are saved for each individual user and won’t impact other users at the firm.

Choose displayed columns

  1. On the SurePrep ribbon, select
    Column Setup
    .
    ""
  2. A list of all columns will show.
    SP Client ID
    and
    Binder ID
    will be automatically selected and grayed out so you can't select them. These columns are included by default and can't be removed.
    ""
  3. Mark the checkbox next to the columns you want to show in FileRoom. To show all columns, mark the
    Select All
    checkbox at the top of the list.
  4. Select

  1. Select a column header to sort that column alphanumerically. A sort direction arrow will appear next to the header of the column being sorted.

Filter columns

You can filter the data shown in FileRoom using the filter function.

    Filter
    icon in the column you'd like to filter.
    Column filters will only be available for commonly used columns:

    Show items that match exactly
    field, select an option from the dropdown, then select
    Filter
    .
    ""
    Once the column filter is applied, only the binders that match that owner name will show in the Owner column.
    note
    You can apply filters to multiple columns to further control what binders are visible.
    Certain columns will have multiple filter options:
    For example, if you filter the SP Client ID column, you can select the
    Show items with value that
    dropdown and choose either
    Is equal to
    or
    Contains
    then enter the filter text.
  3. When you select
    Filter
    , only the binders that match the chosen filter will show.

    Clear Filter
    in the filter panel.
  5. If you want to remove the filters on all columns, select
