Filtering and sorting task listsTopic number: 1425411650656

Task lists can contain many items. To make it easier to find a particular item in a list, you can filter the list to reduce what is displayed, or sort the list on particular column heading.

This procedure applies when in the List area, displaying To do or Follow-up list items.

To filter and sort a task list
  1. To hide certain types of tasks from the To do task list, clear the associated checkbox.
    Example:
    To display only high-priority tasks, clear the other checkboxes in the To do list:

    Filtered To do list with grayed options

    A = High-priority tasks checkbox selected

    B = Other task checkboxes cleared

    The To do list label in the Activities overviews pane adds the word filtered. The excluded tasks are no longer displayed in the main To do list in the right pane.

    To restore the To do tasks, select their checkboxes.

  2. To display only a certain type of data in a task list, type the data in the field below the applicable column heading and press Enter.
    Example:
    To review only CR studies, type CR under Modality type and press Enter.

    Filtered Modality type column

    The list displays a warning that it is Filtered. Yellow triangle with exclamation point To display all data again, click the Restore link.

  3. To sort the data on a particular column, click the column header.

    An up arrow appears beside the column heading. Arrow beside column header name A Sort order overruled warning appears.

  4. To sort an another column, hold down the Ctrl key and click that column header.
    Example:
    Numbers appears beside the arrows in the sorted columns. Number 1 beside up arrow Number 2 beside up arrow

    To remove the filtering and return to default sorting, click the Restore link.
