  3. Equal – will show only those projects in which your brand is the equal specification.

5. Navigating the Projects Table - To navigate the results table, you can use the scroll bar on the right side of the table or the paginator located at the bottom of the webpage.  You may also sort the table using the up and down arrows located on many of the columns.  The only column that is not sortable is “Region” due to system design. Clicking on the project name in the Projects table will hyperlink you to the My Project details page where you can see more in depth information about that specific project.

TIP: Be sure to click on the Project Links to open up the Project Details Page.

6. Export CSV Button - If you wish to work with your data in an outside software tool (Excel, Word, etc.) or print the table information, you can export the table that is displayed based on your search (or no search at all), click on the Export to CSV button, and all the information in your results table will be exported to a file that you can save.

To export your data, you can either open the file with Microsoft Excel or another program or you can save the file to your computer or laptop. The file is saved as a comma separated file (CSV) through the download function in your browser.
