Filter files by kind

Who can do this

Anyone who can open the project. Every plan.

Open in GISweaver

The row of chips above a project's Files list shows one kind of file at a time, so you can find what you need without scrolling.

  1. Open Projects and choose the project.

  2. In Files, select the chip for the kind you want, such as PDFs. The list shows only that kind, and each chip shows how many the project holds.

    Find a file and the kind chips above the Files list, each with its count, and PDFs chosen.Find a file and the kind chips above the Files list, each with its count, and PDFs chosen. Dark theme.

  3. To narrow further, type in Find a file. It searches within the chosen kind.

  4. Select All to see every file again.

What happens next

Only that kind is listed. When you also type in Find a file, the count beside it reads N of M files for that kind. The page's link keeps the choice, so a reload or a link you send a colleague opens on the same kind.

If something goes wrong

  • There is no chip for the kind you want. The project holds none of that kind; a kind with no files has no chip.
  • A file you expected is missing. It may be deleted: deleted files still fold under Show 3 deleted files under the list (the number is how many there are), whatever the chip.
