Folder Filter settings
The User Preferences page contains settings that control how Workplace looks each time you log in. These preferences apply only to your user account for the current Workplace web site. If your company has more than one site, you will need to set your preferences on each Workplace site. To use these Folder Filter settings, you must also choose to display the folder filtering criteria in the General Settings of the General user preferences view. The Always Show Folder Filtering menu is set to Default and it inherits the Always Show Folder Filtering setting defined by your site administrator.
The Folder Filter preference settings provide a way for you to limit the items displayed when viewing the contents of a folder. To more easily locate items in a folder, you can enter filtering criteria, such as words in the title or items added by a specific user. In addition, your site administrator can define the maximum number of documents to display within a folder, such as in the Browse page. If the folder contains more items than the maximum, those items are never displayed. A warning message is displayed to notify you that more items do exist.
For example, if the folder contains 3000 items and the folder filter settings limit the display to 100 documents, only the first 100 documents will be displayed. You will never see items 101 or higher. To more easily locate items in a folder, you can enter filtering criteria. The Folder Filtering preference settings provide default settings for the criteria. You can change some of these settings and view the results from the page where you view the folder contents.
