Accessing the Cabinet Explorer tab

The Cabinet Explorer tab is displayed on the left of the Documents list. Select the Cabinet Explorer tab to expand it. Drag the border on the right to resize the Cabinet Explorer.

The order of Categories in the Cabinet Explorer is controlled by your Cabinet settings. The order of Category options is controlled by the order in which they are saved when managing Categories.

Selecting a Cabinet

  1. Select the Cabinet Explorer tab.
  2. In Select Cabinet, select the Cabinet to use as the filter. Only Cabinets you have access to are available.

  3. The selected Cabinet is displayed at the top of the Cabinet Explorer. Documents in that Cabinet and the Categories enabled for the Cabinet are displayed automatically.

    If the selected View is filtered by one Cabinet and any Categories, those filters are displayed automatically when you expand the Cabinet Explorer. If more than one Cabinet is selected in Filters, the Cabinets aren't displayed in the Cabinet Explorer.

  4. The selected cabinet will be automatically added to the filters, replacing any existing Cabinet or Category filters already applied.

Selecting Category options

Select your required Category options in the Cabinet Explorer. You can select more than one option and combine selections from more than one Category.
