   2. Click on the appropriate selection.

   Use the search bar to display transactions that meet specific criteria. Apply a single filter (using the search fields) or multiple filters (using the Edit Filter button ) to narrow the list of transactions.

   Selecting multiple criteria performs an "and" search (for example, transactions in a specific Accounting Month with a specific Bill Mode).

   3. Click Find to apply the filter. Hover over the Search where text to see the filter that is currently applied to the list.
      
      Your filters are saved automatically for the selected account, except when you open the Transactions list from the Access menu.
      
      To clear the currently applied filter (for the current session only) and start over, click the Clear Filter link label. The search bar displays in blue when filters are applied and in gray when filters are cleared.

   To save your currently applied filters as a default for all accounts of the same entity type, create Filter Defaults. Your currently applied filters are saved as a default for the selected account automatically. Filter defaults are unavailable on Transactions lists opened from the Access menu, as Access > Transactions already provides a filtered view.
   
   Your filter defaults are unique to your user code and will not affect other users’ saved defaults.

   1. Click the Filter Defaults link label and select the Use as default checkbox on the Filter Defaults screen. The filter default will only be applied to accounts that do not already have filter defaults applied.
      
      Filters listed in italics (e.g., Bill #, Billed to Acct, Invoice #) include search criteria that will not apply to all accounts. These filters can only be saved as defaults for the selected account.
      
      To replace existing filter defaults for all accounts (including accounts of the same entity type that already have other filter defaults saved), select the Override existing filters for [entity type] checkbox.

   2. Click OK to apply the filter default.
      
      To clear a filter default, click the Clear Filter link label, click the Filter Defaults link label, select the appropriate checkboxes in the Filter Defaults window, and click OK.

3. You can change the columns that display in the list if necessary.
   1. Click the Select Columns link label on the right side of the header bar. The Select Columns window displays.
   2. Select the checkbox next to each column that should be included in the list.
      Deselect the checkbox next to each column that should be removed from the list.
   3. Columns will display in the order in which they are listed. To move a column up or down in the list, select the column and click the up arrow or down arrow to change the order.
   4. Click OK or press [Enter] to save your changes.

   Click Cancel to close the window without saving your changes.
