Searching and filtering

All folders can be searched easily by using Mediabox-PA’s filtering feature. If users are unsure which folder the project is in, the Advanced Search folder is the fastest way to search. Specific search filters may differ depending on the user’s role or Group assignment and the Project Status folder that is open.

2. At the top of the Project List pane, click Filters to activate options for each Project List column.

      3.Enter search terms in any of the available search fields and press Enter to filter search results.

Saving filter parameters

Filter parameters can be saved to use again later. Saved filters can be selected from the Advanced Search folder.
