The MDS Assessment Browse window includes column headers to allow for filtering of assessments that appear in the window. The column filters include data entry fields and drop down boxes. Data entry fields allow for character specific searches to query information. For example, to find the MDS for Mr. Williams, enter “Wil” in the Full Name search box and the list of MDS will be filtered to display any last name that begins with “Wil”.
