New grid filtering capabilities - Build 9.9.8216
We're delighted to announce a number of new filtering capabilities in IRIS Practice Engine data grids. These new functionalities were designed as a result of several user groups and surveys in which we examined the issue of filtering and exporting data.
We will gradually roll out this new advanced filtering grid to replace the current grid format in future releases. It can currently be found in Staff > Task Pad > Jobs.

From the My Queries tab, you can mark or unmark individual queries as favourites, or easily share the query with different staff grades within the business.
From the My Favourites tab, you can view and click on your Favourite Queries to take you directly to that query.
My Favourite Reports Dashlet
The My Favourite Reports dashlet displays a list of reports that you have added to your favourites on the View Reports page. A Settings drop-down allows you to go directly to the Dates or Ranges report settings, or you can click on the report title to go straight to the report Preview.
Company Queries Dashlet
The Company Queries dashlet displays a list of queries that have been created and shared by other users in the company.
