[Autogenerated] hi And this lesson, I'm
going to show you how to filter library
items. We're gonna go ahead and we'll go
to our documents library here in our
SharePoint team site. And we have a number
of different types of documents here. We
have all kinds of word documents Excel,
Power Point, even a couple of P d efs. And
we would like to filter out everything in
this document library except the types of
documents that we want to see. We can
filter a document library by any of the
criteria, any of the columns that we have.
We have four columns that we can filter
by. We can filter by the type, which is
this first column. This little icon here
indicates the document type, and we see
the little icons here, next to each name
of the document, weaken filter by the
document name by when they were modified
and who they were modified by. Let's go
ahead and take a look. We're gonna filter
first by the type of document we'll
select. Little icon here will click on
that and we get this little window and we
see that we have the option here to filter
by. We're gonna click there and it opens
up our filter panel and we see the four
different document types we have. We see
its filter by type. Let's say we simply
want to filter by power point documents.
We're gonna go ahead and select that and
click apply. And now we see that our
document library has been filtered and all
we have left that we see our power point
presentations. We look up here at the top.
We see all of these file extensions these
air the different types of power point
presentations that SharePoint recognizes
as being part of this filter. Now, when we
come to the top of our document library
the top of our type column you'll see this
little icon here, this little filter. It
looks like a little funnel, doesn't it?
That's the filter icon that lets us know
that this document library has been
filtered by that criteria. In this case,
it is type we also see when we put on a
filter that are filter. Panel opens up
over here and we see that we have other
filters available to us as well. We have
filters for modified by who The person was
who modified these documents. We can go
ahead and filtered by those. We can also
filter by the date we have a date and time
filter here. But if you look, none of
these have been modified any longer than
an hour ago, so this really isn't gonna do
much for us. But if we had documents that
have been modified, say, a year ago, six
months ago, three months ago, we would be
able to go ahead and use the slider and
filter out that way as well. Or we could
select specific dates as you see here. Now
let's close our filter panel. You see the
little funnel icon again. When I click on
that, my filter panel is closed, and now
we can go back in here and let's say that
we want to take the filter off. We click
on the little funnel icon again here, and
you see that we have under filter by clear
filters. I also want you to notice that
filter by has the number one next to it.
That means we're filtering by only a
single criteria. Let's go ahead and let's
clear the filters and we see that we have
all of our documents back, let's go ahead
and do another filter. But this time let's
go and open up our filter panel and do it
from here. This time, let's filter by
type. Let's choose Excel documents and we
can see the Excel documents that Aaron
this document library and let's add a
second filter. Let's go ahead and let's
filter out by who These documents were
modified. Let's go ahead and let's choose
Gary Coulson and we see that Gary modified
these four Excel documents. So we now have
two filters applied on this document
library, and we can see the little filter
icon at the top of those columns. Now, if
I want to go ahead and clear all these
filters at one time, you see the symbol
right here, little filter. And I know it's
very small and very hard to see, but
there's a tiny little X next to it. If I
click there, it takes all of my filters
off. Now I can also filter by multiple
criteria in a single column. Let's go
ahead and let's filter by type again.
Let's say that we want to filter by P. D
efs and by Power Point presentation. So we
want to hide the excel and word documents.
We can click, apply, and we see that we
have those documents there. Now we can
also go ahead and we can sort Ah filtered
list is well, let's go ahead and let's
sort by the name Now it's already sorted
alphabetically from a disease. So let's do
it Descending from Zito A Let's click
there and you can see now that we're
sorted that way and we have our little
sort symbol, our little downward facing
arrow and we have our filter And again we
can go ahead and we can clear those
filters. And you see now it says filter by
two because we have filtered by P. D EFS
and Power point presentations, we take the
filter off. Our sort is still there. And
remember, we will clear our sort If we
leave the document library and come back
to it, you'll see our sort is gone. So now
you know how to filter library items in a
SharePoint document library. Thanks for listening. And I'll see you next time
