There are two methods to filter out specific items from the list of articles.
Method 1-
A. Click on Filter, located towards the top of the page and just below the Project box. By default, this search is set to display the items that are in the queue; i.e. the items that are assigned, reopened or saved in the queue.
B. To filter the submitted items, click on Filter and choose Submitted from the options listed in the drop-down menu that opens.
Method 2-
A. Click on Edit, located in the same line as the Filter box.
B. Use the filter options given under Status in the Items Matching box to display the required search items. For example, choose Writer Status from the options listed in the Status box.
C. Then, choose Equals from the box next to it, and a relevant filter option (such as Assigned, Submitted, Returned, Approved or Reopened) from the third box. For instance, choose Submitted in the third box to display the articles submitted by the Writer.
Both of these methods change the Writer Status to Submitted and the ‘Items’ grid will now display the items submitted by the Writer.
6. When the Writer submits the article, the Writer Status, displayed next to the Filter box, changes to ‘Writer Status Equals to Submitted’.
7. When the article goes to the Editor, the item status, as displayed in the ‘Items’ grid, changes to ‘In Editing’.
