In the Files main view

         The Folder icon within a Teal circle contains files from the Client Portal.

        Filter the list –  In the left pane filter the list by selecting from the drop-down lists to show files that have a particular status (e.g. Active), billing status (e.g. Billable), or file type (e.g. Family Law).

You can further filter the list to files that begin with a particular letter. For example, if you filter the list to Active files and sort them by file name, click k to show only the ones whose names begin with "k".|

        Whose files – If file security is not enabled for the firm, everyone's files are listed.

If file security is enabled for the firm, the list generally includes only your files—that is, it does not include other users' private files, nor files assigned to a user group that you don't belong to. However, if you are the Amicus administrator, you can choose either "My Files" to list only your files (as described above), or "Firm Files" to list all files (except the private ones you aren't assigned to).

        Open details of a file – Select a file in the list and click Open. Or simply click the file's icon at the left, or double-click the row.
