Exploring the Portal

Home Page

The home page is a landing page that contains a set of content panels that provide you with recent and relevant information. From this page you can view your messages, tasks, existing requests, your DataMarts, and create/edit a request.

The following panels are available on the home page:

  • Notifications – Recent notifications. See Notifications for information on subscribing to notifications. 
  • Messages – List of messages distributed to all users from Network Administrators. 
  • Tasks – List of tasks for you, or someone at your organization, to complete
  • Requests list – Your recent requests, requests that have been distributed to your DataMart,  and/or requests that require your approval or review
  • DataMarts list  List of DataMarts in your network

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

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 . Five options will appear: Sort Ascending; Sort Descending; Columns; and Filter and Clear All Filters.   After selecting 'Filter' the box where you can enter the filter criteria will appear. Up to two filter criteria may be applied to a single column and any number of columns may be filtered in a table. After entering the criteria, click Filter.

Filtered columns are indicated by a white box around the filter icon. To clear a filter on a column, click the filter icon and click Clear in the criteria box. You can also Clear all Filters.


Sorting

To sort a table, click the filter icon . Four options will appear: Sort Ascending; Sort Descending; Columns; and Filter.  To choose the order for sorting, simply select either Sort Ascending or Sort Descending.

You can also directly click a column header to sort. When directly clicking a column, an arrow will appear next to the header indicating whether it is in ascending (↑) or descending (↓) order. Only one column may control the table sort at one time.
