-
: [[Image:FOrganizations.png]], [[Image:FUsers.png]] and [[Image:FPrograms.png]]

-
* Upon log-in, these filters default to the logged-in user's organization and user name, with the drawing list (located beneath the filter boxes) showing only drawings associated with the logged-in user.
+
-
 
+
-

+
-
 
+
-
* Click the [[Image:MyDrawings.png]] icon above the drawing list to restore default settings for the logged in user.
+
-
