Quick filters
Quick filters apply filters that are commonly used in a specific application. They display by the search bar in both global search and application-specific searches. You can apply a quick filter by clicking it and selecting the parameter from the drop-down menu.
When searching within applications, you can apply quick filters specific to that application. The quick filters in each application are:
-
Projects: Project, Active
-
Registry: Type
-
Inventory: Type, Barcode
-
Workflows: Template, Author, Status
-
Requests: Type, Task
-
Insights: Project
In global search, you can filter results by type, or search within a folder by clicking Type or Folders and selecting the filter from the drop-down menu.
Custom filters
You can apply custom filters to narrow your search for specific parameters, like for individual DNA or AA sequences and even specific nucleotide strings.
To apply a custom filter:
-
Click Filters, then click Add filters.
-
Click the Name drop-down menu and select the filter type.
-
Click the right-side drop-down menu and select the filter parameter. The parameters listed in this menu depend on the filter type selected in step 2.
-
Click Apply. To add multiple filters to your search, repeat these steps.
Save searches
To save a search for later use, click Save next to the search bar in the expanded dashboard.
