--- title: Find, filter and sort works description: "Search your saved works, narrow the list by writer, publisher, society, status or ISWC, sort it, and tick the works you want to act on." keywords: [search, filter, sort, catalogue, works list, status filter, find a work, needs information, clear filters, tick works] --- The list in **Catalogue** holds every saved work. Search it to find one work, or filter it to find every work that needs something from you. ## Find the works that need your information 1. Open **Catalogue**. On a narrow screen the filters are folded under **Filters**. 2. Press **Needs information (any society)**. The list shrinks to those works, and the line above it says how many match and offers **Clear filters**. 3. Open a work. Press **Details missing** on its row to land on its **To do** list, or press its title to open the editor. 4. Follow the explanations to fix it. See [Fix problems on a work](/docs/workspace/catalogue/fix-problems). **Fix what is missing** on **Today** opens this same filtered list. See [What needs you next](/docs/workspace/today/needs-you). Three names mean one thing here: the row says **Details missing**, the filter button says **Needs information (any society)**, and the status choice says **Needs your information**. ![The Catalogue list filtered to Needs information, with the count line, the two cards of figures, the panel What is holding your works up and a Details missing chip on a work.](/docs/img/workspace/find.png) ## Search, filter and sort - **Search saved works** takes a title, work reference or ISWC. The list narrows as you type. - **Writer name or identifier** and **Publisher name or identifier** narrow it by a person or company. - **Society** and **Status** go together, and appear once you have chosen your societies in **Settings**. With a society chosen, **Status** picks where works stand with that society. With **Society** left on **Any**, it picks by each work's one overall state: the most pressing status any of its societies is in, which is what the chart on **Today** counts. Its choices are **Needs your information**, **Not checked yet**, **Ready to prepare**, **With the society**, **Accepted**, **Needs correction or review** and **No TrackForge history**. [What the statuses mean](/docs/workspace/catalogue/statuses) explains them. - **ISWC** keeps works that have one (**Has ISWC**) or lack one (**No ISWC**). - **Recordings** keeps works that list a recording (**Recording listed**) or list none (**No recording listed**). On the list of works with none, each row has an **Add a recording** button. - The buttons **Changed since submission**, **Registration differs** and **Details to confirm** each switch one more filter on. - **Sort by** offers **Last updated** (newest first), **Title**, **Reference** and **Status (needs you first)**. The footer moves between pages and sets how many works show: 25, 50 or 100. Your search, filters and sort stay in the page address, so reloading or going back keeps them. Reloading returns you to the first page. ## The figures above the list Two cards above the list count the catalogue's works. Every figure opens the list with that one filter on and the others cleared. - **What you have entered** splits the works two ways. **Recordings** shows **Recording listed** against **No recording listed**, and **ISWC** shows **Has ISWC** against **No ISWC**. With fewer than ten works each is a list of figures with no drawing. - **Where each society is up to** is a table with a row for each of your societies and a column for each status that has works in it. **No TrackForge history** counts every work that was never prepared, sent or brought in for that society, whatever else it needs, so a row can add up to more than your works. ![The cards What you have entered and Where each society is up to, above the list of works in Catalogue.](/docs/img/workspace/catalogue-figures.png) ## What a row shows Under the title you see the work reference, the writers' surnames and the ISWC. **Your details** reads **Complete**, **Details missing**, **Checking for** a society, or **Couldn't check**. Each society then has its own column. **Unsaved browser edits available** means the work has a recovery copy. See [Edit a work](/docs/workspace/catalogue/edit-a-work). ## Tick works to act on them Owners and editors get tick boxes. **Select all works on this page** is in the heading row. **Prepare selected works** starts a file from your ticks. See [Prepare a file](/docs/workspace/files/prepare). Ticks stay while you search, filter or change page, and they use saved versions. A work saved since you ticked it shows **Changed since selection**, so tick it again. ## If something goes wrong - ****No matching works.**** Press **Clear filters**. - ****Your works have not been checked yet**.** No society is chosen, so works are not checked for any. **Choose your societies** opens the choice. - **Checks seem stuck.** The list refreshes itself while works are being checked. If it stops, press **Refresh**. ## Keyboard In a row, Tab reaches the tick box, the title and the first society. The left and right arrow keys, Home and End then move between the societies. ## Related - [What needs you next](/docs/workspace/today/needs-you) - [Edit many works at once](/docs/workspace/catalogue/edit-many) - [Several catalogues](/docs/workspace/catalogue/several-catalogues)
