Finding an existing form depends very much on your current context.  To find the form that you just submitted, you could simply click on My forms in the Filters pane.  This will present you with a list of all the forms that you have captured, with the most recent at the top.

In the more general case you may have to click Project lifecycle on the Application Menu and Project registration (MIG1) on the Content tree.  Thereafter you could take one of the following approaches to select an appropriate filter.

1.   If you are a data capturer and you are looking for one of your own forms the simplest is probably to click My forms.  Depending on how many forms you have captured, the MIS may have to split the list over several pages (see working with lists below).

2.   If you are looking for forms in a particular workflow status, for example those that have been referred back, it may be easier to click Referred back under the Status folder, but remember that this will return all forms in this status within your agency, not only your own.

3.   Provincial and national users need to be particularly careful in selecting a filter such as Registered because a list containing several thousand forms could hardly be considered a filter!  In these cases it is advisable to rather use the Advanced… filter which allows you to limit the search to a specific municipality, date range, etc.

Many filter and search actions in the MIS produce a list in Results pane.  These lists could contain forms, projects, people, companies, etc.  The better the filter, the fewer rows will be returned.  If more than a hundred rows are returned, the MIS will split the list into separate pages.  You could then display the pages by clicking the page number at the bottom-right corner of the list or choose to refine the search criteria.

Another useful feature of the lists is that any column can be sorted by clicking the column heading.  This may be useful if you are after one of a few similar rows.  For example, if there is one submitted project in a list of many, you could get it to the top of the list by clicking the column heading of the status icons once, or at most twice.  Alternate clicks toggle the sort order between ascending and descending.

Please refer to Annexure A for the meaning of the status icons.
