Filters

On the left of the Documents page is a list of pre-defined filters to aid you in finding folders and documents. Select one to filter the list of documents:

• Company name filter - Lists all folders and documents you have created as well as all those shared explicitly with the company.
• Recently opened filter - Lists documents most recently opened by you.

To remove a document from this filter list, select the document and right-click to access the context menu. Select Remove from recently opened.

• Created by me filter - Lists those documents you have created yourself regardless of owner.
• Shared with me filter - Lists all documents shared with you explicitly by another Onshape user.
• Teams filter - If you are a member of a team, those filters are inserted at this point in the list, and include documents and folders shared with the team. Teams are collapsed under the Teams label.

  Note that if the account you belong to has many teams, you see only those teams that you are a member of. Anyone can create a team through Account settings.

• Any labels you have created are listed, collapsed under Labels. Labels are user-specific. Create labels from the Create a new label icon ().
• Public filter- Lists all documents made publicly available to all Onshape users by all other Onshape users. For actions specific to public documents, see Public documents, below.

You can view all Public documents at once through the Public filter on the Documents page. The following information is displayed:

• Name - The document and workspace names
• Modified - The last time and date the document was modified
• Owned by - The owner’s user name
• Copies - The number of times this document has been copied by other users
• Links - The number of times this document (or an entity therein) has been referenced by another document
• Likes - The number of times the document has been ‘Liked’ by users; click the either in the tile view or on the Details panel.

Use the horizontal scroll bar to display columns to the left, if they are not displayed:

Click the Add button to access additional columns to display. Check a column to display it, or uncheck to hide it:

Public documents can be seen by all Onshape users, in a view-only capacity. However, keep in mind that any user can make a copy of a public document and then use that data. No copyright is implicit upon documents made available publicly. If you have a Free account, all of the documents you create are public by default. If you wish to create private documents, sign up for a paid subscription of Onshape.
