Getting Familiar with Your New Yeti Environment

The following information will assist you in familiarizing yourself with your new Yeti environment. This document displays what the screens of each menu looks like for a new subscriber.

Some menus are created with sample data added to them. This data allows new users and subscribers to test the functionality of the Yeti mobile app immediately. The mobile app was designed to be very intuitive and easy to use, so very little instruction will be required. This data can be archived (made ‘Inactive’) once training has been completed, or testing is no longer required.

For detailed description on each Yeti menus purpose, please click here.

Instead of viewing all records, the Search and Filter functions allows users to specify which records\reports to display.

Isolating the records in a view is useful for:

  • viewing a specific group of records
  • making bulk changes to a group of records
  • targeting the records desired for a data export
  • potentially increasing the speed of Yeti functionality by not displaying every existing Yeti record.

‘Search’ is the quicker method of segregating records. Just type keywords into the search field and hit enter.

Search feature

‘Filter’ is an advanced search function and allows for multiple search criteria.

Filter options will vary depending on the Yeti menu viewed.
