Exploring the Portal
Home Page
The home page is a landing page that contains a set of content panels that provide you with recent information relevant to your tasks. From this page you can view your notifications, view existing requests, and create a new request.
The following panels are available on the home page:
- Notifications – list of recent notifications. See Notifications for information on subscribing to notifications.
- Messages – list of recent messages distributed to all users from Network Administrators.
- Requests list – your recent requests, requests that have been distributed to your DataMart Client and/or requests that require your approval or review
The requests visible to you depend on the security configuration of your network and your role in the network. For questions about what requests you should see, please contact your PopMedNet Network Administrator

- Home: displays the Portal home page.

Using Tables in the User Interface
Tables are used throughout the PopMedNet user interface to display information. Columns in any table may be filtered, sorted, reordered, and resized. Filtering and sorting options are preserved across your sessions.
Filtering
To filter a column, click the filter icon 
. Up to two filter criteria may be applied to a single column and any number of columns may be filtered in a table.
Filtered columns are indicated by a shaded filter icon. To clear a filter on a column, click the filter icon and click Clear in the filter control.
Sorting
To sort a table, click a column header. Only one column may control the table sort.
Sorting is indicated by an upwards or downwards facing arrow on the column controlling the sort order.
Reordering
To reorder the columns in a table, hold and drag a column into a new position
Resizing
To resize a column in the table, hold and drag the boundaries between columns.
