Smart Filters

1. Log in to CloudNine Review and select your Project from the My Project page. Your selected project opens displaying documents in your preferred view. 
2. Click the Filter option at the right of the View selection drop-down list. 
   
3. You will receive a Loading Smart Filters... message.
    
   
   Then the Smart Filters popup opens. 
   
4. The Smart Filters popup is organized by Categories with specific system and metadata fields in each category. In the Date category, click the Plus (+) in the right column to expand and display the date fields that can be filtered. 
5.  Click the Greater Than (>) option in the right column for Sent Date. To filter by date range, enter a Start and End Date (Click here for date field behavior). For this article, a date range of 01/01/2010 - 01/01/2011 is applied. 
   
   
   Once entered, only the records found within the Date Range, in this case, Emails from the year 2010, are considered when applying additional filters. 
6. Expand the Email category, then select the To field. All values found in the To field that fall within the Date Range filter are displayed along with the number of records found for that value. Select values in the To field you wish to filter on, in the example below six e-mail accounts are selected.
   
7. Click Apply to activate the filter and view documents that fall within the date range and selected email addresses filter. 

The filter has been applied and you are in your preferred view.  At the bottom, you can see you have an active Smart Filter Search. You also see the number of documents that fall within the filter criteria.
