In today's fast-paced business environment, the ability to quickly locate specific documents is essential for professionals in finance, legal, healthcare, and other compliance-focused industries. RecordsKeeper.AI's Search & Filters feature provides an intuitive, powerful solution for finding exactly what you need among your vast collection of records.

Understanding the Search & Filters Page

The Search & Filters page is your control center for locating documents across the platform. It offers:

  • A centralized search bar for quick keyword searches

  • Advanced filtering options to narrow results

  • A comprehensive view of document metadata

  • Quick actions for document management

This page is specifically designed for when you can't easily locate files through other navigation methods, ensuring nothing gets lost in your digital records.

Basic Search Functionality

    • File Name

    • File Size

    • Uploaded By
