Sorting Cases
Click any column header to sort the table by that column:
- First click: Ascending order (A-Z, oldest-newest, lowest-highest)
- Second click: Descending order (Z-A, newest-oldest, highest-lowest)
- Third click: Removes sort (returns to default)
Common Sorting Patterns for Metrics
Sort by Alerts DESC:
- See cases with most alerts first
- Prioritize cases needing immediate attention
- Useful for daily triage
Sort by Next Deadline ASC:
- See most urgent deadlines first
- Plan your day around approaching deadlines
- Prevent cases from becoming past due
Sort by Open Tasks DESC:
- Find cases with most work remaining
- Identify cases that may need support
- Balance workload distribution
Sort by Last Updated ASC:
- Find stagnant cases
- Identify cases needing follow-up
- Ensure no case is forgotten
Filtering Cases
Each table column has its own filter:
Steps to apply filter:
- Click the filter icon in any column header
- Select filter criteria:
- Column: Which column to filter (pre-selected)
- Operator: Comparison method (e.g., "is", "contains", "greater than")
- Value: Specific value to match
- Click Apply
- Table shows only matching cases
Example Filters
Show only Active cases with alerts:
- Filter Status: "is" → "Active"
- Filter Alerts: "greater than" → "0"
- Result: Only active cases that have alerts
Show cases in specific Group:
- Filter Group: "is" → "Consumer Engagement"
- Result: Only cases in Consumer Engagement phase
Show cases with high task counts:
- Filter Open Tasks: "greater than" → "5"
- Result: Cases with more than 5 incomplete tasks
⚠️ Important: Filter settings reset when you navigate away from the Dashboard: My Metrics tab. Your filters are not saved between sessions.
Column Management
Customize which columns are visible in your table view.
Column Management Options:
Each column header provides:
- Filter (gray filter icon) - Apply filters to column
- Hide column (gray eye with diagonal slash icon) - Temporarily hide the column from view
- Manage columns (gray 3 vertical bar icon) - Open column management panel
To hide a single column:
- Click the column header you want to hide
- Click the "Hide column" icon (eye with slash)
- The column disappears from the table
- Other columns expand to fill the space
To manage all columns:
- Click the "Manage columns" icon (3 vertical bars) on any column header
- The column management panel opens
- Check/uncheck columns to show or hide them
- Click Apply or Done to save changes
Custom column configurations:
- Alert Focus: Show only Client ID, Status, Alerts, Next Deadline, Open Tasks
- Quick Scan: Show Name, Group, Next Deadline, Last Updated
- Team View: Show Name, Group, Assignees, Open Tasks
⚠️ Important: Column visibility settings may reset when you navigate away from the Dashboard: My Metrics tab. Check if your preferences are saved between sessions.
Opening a Case
Access the full Case Page from the table view.
Two methods:
- Click the row - Opens the Case Page for that case
- Click Client ID link - Also opens the Case Page
What happens:
- Case Page opens in main view
- You can work on tasks, documents, and other case details
- Use browser back button or Dashboard icon to return to My Metrics

Tips and Best Practices
💡 Start your day with Alerts: Sort by Alerts DESC each morning to handle urgent items first
💡 Combine filters: Use Status "Active" + Alerts "greater than 0" to focus on actionable urgent cases
💡 Use Group filter: When focusing on a specific phase of work, filter by Group to see only those cases
💡 Hide unnecessary columns: Customize your view to show only the data you need for your current task
💡 Switch between views: Use My Metrics for quick triage, then switch to My Caseload for detailed analysis
⚠️ Remember: Filters and column settings reset between sessions - reapply as needed
FAQ
Q: What's the difference between "Open Tasks" and "Active Tasks"?
A: These are the same concept with different labels:
- My Metrics: Uses "Open Tasks" label
- My Caseload: Uses "Active Tasks" label
Both show the count of incomplete tasks on the case.
Q: Why don't I see the Maintainer or Stage columns?
A: My Metrics focuses on performance-relevant columns to reduce clutter. The Group column (showing major phase) replaces the detailed Stage information.
If you need to see Maintainer or specific Stage, use My Caseload instead, which includes all 11 columns.
Q: How do alerts get added to cases?
A: Alerts are generated automatically by:
- System rules detecting missing information
- Deadline proximity triggers
- Compliance checks
- Administrator-configured rules
Click into a case to view detailed alert information and take action to resolve them.
Q: Can I see metrics for cases I don't own?
A: My Metrics shows cases assigned to YOU (where you have tasks or are the maintainer). To see organization-wide metrics, use Process Insights: Metrics instead.
Q: What happens to a case when all alerts are resolved?
A: When all alerts are resolved, the Alerts column shows "0". The case remains in your My Metrics view - alerts are just one indicator of status, not a filter for visibility.
Q: Can I export My Metrics data?
A: The My Metrics tab is designed for on-screen viewing and quick analysis. For formal reports and exports, use the Reports section accessible from the left navigation bar.
