1.2.2 Common Portal Procedures
There are some functions that are similar on many or all portal pages:
• Menu pages — On pages that contain menu items, moving your cursor over a particular item
displays a description of that item in a shaded box in the lower left corner of the page.
• Filter box — Pages with lists contain a filter box which you can use to shorten the list. Enter any
literal in the Filter box; the list shortens as you enter more characters, displaying any item that
contains that particular string. Using the asterisk (*) symbol is not necessary.
