Saving Records in the Saved List

 

 

 

 

The Saved list is a temporary list you can work with during the current login session. Having searched for records, you can add them to a Saved List. The results of several searches can be combined in this way to create one list that can then be processed further, either by requesting, emailing or printing.

 The saved list is lost once you log out of your current session.
