Key Steps

1. Accessing the Source Filter in Source Documents

  • Navigate to the Source Documents column.

  • Locate the new filter labeled 'Source'.

  • This filter allows you to sort documents based on their origin.


2. Filtering Documents by Source

  • Click on the 'Source' filter.

  • Select the desired source, e.g., 'SharePoint'.

  • To view documents from multiple sources, select additional sources, such as 'Google Drive'.


3. Applying the Source Filter to Invoices

  • Move to the Invoice column.

  • Find the 'Source' filter in this column as well.

  • Click on the filter and select 'Xero' to view only invoices created from that source.


4. Understanding Filter Limitations

  • Be aware that invoices created before the label feature was implemented will not have a source label (the source label can be viewed in the invoice / document card)

  • When filtering by source, these invoices may not appear in your results.


Cautionary Notes

  • Ensure that you are aware of the limitations regarding invoices created prior to the label feature.

  • Double-check your selected sources to avoid missing relevant documents or invoices.


Tips for Efficiency

  • Regularly update your knowledge of which sources are available to filter.

  • Use the filter options frequently to maintain an organized view of your documents and invoices.
