This document aims to provide a comprehensive guide on how to effectively use the Filters pane in a SharePoint document library, specifically for the English sales department. It will cover how to sort documents, apply filters, and customize the view to enhance document management and retrieval.

Chapitres :

  1. Introduction to SharePoint Document Library
    In this section, we will explore the purpose of the SharePoint document library dedicated to the English sales department. As a new user, understanding how to navigate and utilize this library is crucial for efficient document management.
  2. Using the Filters Pane
    The Filters pane is a powerful tool that allows users to sort and filter documents based on specific criteria. To access the Filters pane, click on the designated symbol. This feature enables you to quickly find documents that meet your needs.
  3. Filtering Documents by Date and Type
    You can filter documents to view only those created in the last seven days or limit your search to specific document types, such as Word documents. For instance, after applying these filters, you may see documents like the semester budget and KPI presentation, which are pinned at the top of the library and are not affected by the filters.
  4. Adding Additional Filters
    While the initial filters allow for basic sorting, you may want to filter documents by the creator or the last modifier. These filters are not available by default and must be added manually. To do this, left-click on the column you wish to add, select 'Column settings,' and then choose 'Add to filter pane.' This action will make the selected column available for filtering.
  5. Customizing Your View with Metadata
    In addition to filtering by document type and date, you can enhance your document management by adding metadata. This allows for a more tailored view of the documents in the library, making it easier to locate specific files based on various attributes.
  6. Conclusion
    By utilizing the Filters pane and customizing your view in the SharePoint document library, you can significantly improve your document management experience. Understanding how to apply and add filters will help you navigate the library more efficiently and find the documents you need with ease.

not part of the filters.

people who created the document or by
00:01:24
the people who modified the document?
00:01:27
Where are these filters?
