Record list
The Records section provides access to all records registered in the Electronic records management. Open it by clicking the button of the same name on the Records management tab.
The records are organized in a table where each row corresponds to one entry (it is described in more detail in the next chapter, Record list). There are controls for filtering the data available above the table (for more details, see chapter Filtering).
Record list
The table with the list of records displays all records in the Electronic records management.
Every row corresponds to a record and the columns to individual details kept for the records.
Below the list you can find controls for browsing the list if there are more entries found than is the set page size. The total number of entries is located next to the controls. You can click
to update the total.
If there are preset filter sets to be displayed as labels, you can find them above the list next to the Filter button. Filter set settings are described in chapter The Filter sets tab.
If there are not too many entries (the threshold is again set by the FormFlow administrator), you can order or filter them based on one of the table columns. You will find the corresponding controls in the header of each column. Set the order by clicking
Descending or
Ascending. If there are too many entries, narrow the selection down using a filter.
A so-called column filter is available for quick filtration. Click the
button in the column header and use the field displayed to enter a part of the text contained in the column. The system immediately displays only those documents that match the filter.
| For a more precise search, use the filter tools described in chapter Filtering. |

Bulk operations on records
The Bulk operations window
Check the box in the leftmost column for one or more table entries to display a floating window with a list of operations you can run for all the selected records at the same time.
-
Takeover – click to take over the processing for all selected records.
-
Confirm takeover – if the selected records have been handed over to you, click this button to confirm taking over all of them.
-
Reject takeover – if the selected records have been handed over to you, you can click this button to reject taking over all of them.

The Distribution section provides the option to change the officer – the person responsible for the record. Select the officer from the list and click Hand over or Assign to pass them all selected records. If you have selected Hand over, the usual handover procedure follows, meaning that the selected user must confirm taking over the record, and they have the option to reject it. If you have selected Assign, the officer change is applied immediately.
Exporting a record list
A list of records based on the current filter can be exported to file and then processed in other software: the available formats include CSV, PDF, XML, XLS, XLSX and HTML. The export controls are not in the Bulk operations window but below the table of records. Select the target format in the first field, then click Export to confirm the operation. The system will offer you the resulting file for download.
