How to search grids

The SharePoint platform being used limits how documents and other content are posted on the site. This can be tricky to navigate at times. This page shows simple ways to search for the content, or filter content in grids for ease of navigation and finding what you are looking for.

Document Grid Search

The document grid search is helpful when all the documents in the grid have like text or tags to assist users in finding the content they seek.

The district site development has guidelines in content naming conventions to better assist our users.

The example below shows the "Documents" section of the DCC page. The columns will assist users with searching, sorting and filtering the content.

To search for a specific group of documents to find the "one" you want, use the naming standards to assist you.  For example, on the DCC page document grid if I am looking for a specific agenda there are quick ways to find all the agendas.

Using the "search" feature I can type in a keyword to find a document.

Example: to find all the documents with agenda in the title or name I can just type in agenda, and hit return on my keyboard. As you can see this returns all the documents with agenda in the title or name.

Document Grid Filter

Choosing a filter selection will return the information that correlates to your filter, and shows your filter at the top - see the blue highlighted filter. You can cancel filters easily by clicking on the X on your filter selection.
