I have just been added to a new SharePoint

00:00:04

site, a SharePoint dedicated to the

00:00:06

English sales department of my company.

00:00:09

I'm using now this new library and I would

00:00:12

like to be able to sort the documents

00:00:15

in a much more quick and easier way.

00:00:18

Because I'm new to the library, I don't

00:00:21

really know which documents to look for.

00:00:23

What can I do to help myself along the way?

00:00:27

Well, in each document library you have

00:00:29

access to what is called the Filters pane.

00:00:32

By less clicking this

00:00:34

symbol I can now filter.

00:00:35

What if I want to see only the documents

00:00:39

what you find in the last seven days?

00:00:42

But also only the word documents.

00:00:46

And here it is.

00:00:48

You will note that we can see the semester,

00:00:52

budget and the KPI presentation

00:00:54

which are not Word documents.

00:00:55

It is because these documents have been

00:00:58

pinned to the top of the SharePoint library,

00:01:01

so consider that they are

00:01:03

not part of the filters.

00:01:05

The most observant of you

00:01:07

may have noticed an issue.

00:01:09

Indeed I have.

00:01:11

Modified.

00:01:11

Which I can filter the type of

00:01:15

document that I can filter.

00:01:17

But what if I wanted to filter by the

00:01:21

people who created the document or by

00:01:24

the people who modified the document?

00:01:27

Where are these filters?

00:01:28

Well, they are nowhere to be found at first.

00:01:31

You have to add them manually.

00:01:33

How can you do so?

00:01:36

Simply left click on the column you wish

00:01:39

to add to the Filter *** column settings.

00:01:43

Bin to filter Spain.

00:01:46

And instantly.

00:01:48

It appears at the top of the list.

00:01:51

You can now use each and every different

00:01:53

column should you wish to add metadata.

00:01:55

For example,

00:01:56

you could also add them

00:01:58

to the field to Spain.
