Setup E-Files Grid
First, navigate to the Facility-level or Global E-Files page.
E-Files for a Specific Facility
To open E-files for a single facility, first navigate to the facility. In the left-side facility menu, click Electronic Files and select E-Files.

E-Files for Multiple Facilities
To open E-files across multiple facilities at the client level, click the nine dots at the top left of the screen to open the global menu. Under Home, select Global E-Files.

Next, make sure the “All” File Application or Folder is selected in the left-side menu.

Click the gear icon to verify the columns you need for filtering are visible in the grid.

We recommend using File Date and Description. Type, State, County, File Application, Tags, and Regulator File columns may also be helpful.
Dynamic File Date Filters
File Date filters are unique to the E-Files page and allow you to set a dynamic date range. If “Previous Year” is set, for example, every time you access the Compliance Binder the files will be dated within the past 365 days.
Click the three dots in the File Date column header.

Use the dropdown menu to select a dynamic date range and click Filter.
Description Keyword Filters
Keyword filters are unique to the Description column in E-Files. This feature allows you to search for or exclude specific terms in the file's description.
Click the three dots in the Description column header.

Keywords:
- Select one or more keywords from a preset list
- Type one or more custom keywords and click Add
Filter Logic:
- “AND” will search for files with ALL of the keywords in the Description
- “OR” will search for files with ANY of the keywords in the Description
Exclude Keywords:
- Click the “Exclude Keywords” checkbox to only return results that DO NOT include the designated keywords.
Click Filter.
Additional Filters
Filter additional columns as needed to fully customize the results on screen.
We strongly recommend filtering by File Application when creating a Compliance Binder!
