The rolodex filters are the set of letters and numbers located across the top of the Staff List grid:
The filters enable alphabetic and numeric filtering of information contained in columns in the grid.
● Alphabetic filters enable you to find and sort information in columns that start with alphabetic information, for example, the Name and Primary Position columns.
● Numeric filters enable you to find and sort information in columns that start with numeric information, for example, the Date of Birth and OrganizationID columns.
For information on how to apply these filters, go to Rolodex_Filters.
When you select a filter, the system highlights it (see illustration below). Additionally, the Filter Criteria field shows the name of the filter you selected. The following illustration shows the E filter selected:
The Filter Column field
shows the name of the column to which the selected filter is applied.
It also tells you the direction in which the information is sorted: 
Ascending or 
Descending. In the previous
illustration, the Filter Column field shows
Name Ascending, which
lets you know that the information in the grid is currently sorted on
the Name column in ascending (A to Z) order.
Click 
to clear the applied rolodex
filter settings. The system re-displays all of the staff records (the
unfiltered list). The Filter Criteria field
updates to show that filtering is turned off: None.

The Position filter is a multi-selection filter that enables you to filter the grid to show staff matching the positions you select. To apply the filters, select checkboxes. A checkmark appears next to the filter to let you know it is selected:
After making your filter selections, click your mouse in any area outside of the list. The grid refreshes to show records that match the filters you selected.
Position filter options are sorted in ascending order in the following sequence: 1) special characters, 2) numerals, and 3) letters. Note that when multiple filters are selected, they are shown in the Position filter field (see previous illustration) followed by an alphanumeric listing of filters that are not selected.
To deselect filters, simply select the checkboxes. The checkmarks are removed to indicate that the filters are no longer selected.
To clear all selected filters, click the Clear All link under the dropdown list (see previous illustration). If you leave and then return to the Staff List page, the system automatically clears any previously selected filters.
If you want to view only those staff who hold the selected positions as their primary one, select the Search Only Primary Positions checkbox, which located at the bottom of the Position filter list (see the previous illustration).

The Staff List is an alphabetic listing of all staff who have an assignment to your organization. Each staff member's record occupies a single row in the grid.
