In addition to the information above, you can also sort documents within your compliance obligations using Categories and Sub-Categories.

Click on “Edit Selected”
In the resulting modal, enter a name for the category or sub-category you wish to create in the designated fields.
Click on “Apply” to save the changes.
Please note:
- To create a new sub-category for an existing category, you must enter the name of the existing category in the “Category” field.
- You can use the method shown above to move documents from one category to another.
Searching for Documents
The search bar at the top of the page will allow you to search for documents that are in your Compliance Obligation Registers.
Enter a document’s full title, or part of its title in the search bar and click Search.
Please note: The search is case-sensitive. In some cases, users will find their documents quicker by searching for specific words in the title, instead of the full title.
You can search by keyword to find all the documents that contain this specific word in their title, or in their text.
You can also use a document’s Leg. Ref. to search for it. However, the Leg. Ref. must be entered exactly as it would appear in the reference column on the Library Page.
For example: If a Leg. Ref. appears as SC2010.c.23, in the Reference Column, entering “SC-2010 c 23”, will not work.
You can use the filters at the top of the page to narrow down your search results, and filter your documents by Category, Assessment, Responsible Party, or connected Status.
