Filters are useful for retrieving the specific forms or projects that a specific user may have an interest in such as My forms, My projects and Awaiting registration.  Some of these are self explanatory and are not dealt with here.

Filters also enhance performance by limiting the volume of information retrieved from the MIS database.

The Captured filter selects all the forms captured and saved by anyone in the agencies that you have permission to view.  For example, if you are registered as a provincial user, you will see all the forms captured by the districts and municipalities in your province.

The My projects filter assists project managers to select all the projects that they are responsible for, that is all projects where the Contact Person in Section 2 of MIG 1 matches the user logged in.

This filter only applies to users with primary responsibility for workflow actions (such as Municipal Manager and Provincial Manager MIG).  It selects all the forms that are awaiting the attention of users appointed by them to evaluate forms on their behalf.

The Advanced filter should be used when you need to combine more than one parameter refine a search for forms or projects.

Some criteria, such as the Reference Number contain a drop down menu to further specify the parameter.  You could for example choose to filter on a National, Provincial or Municipal Reference Number.

Click Find to select all the forms or projects that match the criteria that you have specified.  The results are displayed underneath the search criteria without altering the criteria to allow you to refine the search by changing the criteria and clicking Find again.
