Filter Placeholders

You can apply one or more filters to quickly locate specific placeholders based on criteria such as organization, published date, status, size, scale, and more.

Automatic Search Refresh

The Auto-search toggle lets you control when search results refresh. When enabled, results automatically update with each filter change. When this feature is disabled, results only refresh after you click Search. Disabling automatic searching can improve performance when working with large document sets.

To apply a filter to a list of placeholders:

  1. Navigate to the project.
    You can search for projects using the Search Projects link in the Activity Zone. Projects that you are linked to also appear on the History tab in your contact record, and in the Projects dashpart in the Personal Zone.
  2. On the project window, click the DLM tab.
  3. On the Home tab of the DLM page, click Add Filter.
  4. In the Add Filter dialog, select a filter.
  5. Specify the filter criteria based on the selected filter.
  6. Optional: To exclude the filter from the search results, select the Exclude From Results check box. For example, you may choose to exclude placeholders that have been marked as obsolete.
  7. Click Apply.
    • If Auto-search is enabled, the results refresh automatically.
    • If Auto-search is disabled, click Search to update the results manually.
  8. Repeat steps 3 through 7 to add more filters as needed.
    Note: To remove a filter, click next to the filter.
