# Finding and Filtering Your Batches

> The Access Media page: four summary cards, a sortable and searchable batch table, the Show archived toggle, and how to filter Items or Links by the batch they were printed in.

Every batch your team has ever created lives on the **Access Media** page. It opens as a table
sorted newest first, with archived batches hidden until you ask for them.

## The four summary cards

| Card              | What it counts                                                    |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Total Batches** | Batches matching your current search, filters and archived toggle |
| **Total Links**   | Links across every batch in the team                              |
| **Allocated**     | Those links that are assigned to an Item                          |
| **Unallocated**   | Those links with no Item attached yet                             |

Worth knowing: only the first card responds to your filters. The three link cards are team-wide
totals across every batch, archived ones included, so they will not narrow as you search. A large
Unallocated number is normal on a print-first deployment — those are codes printed ahead of the
equipment they will represent.

## The table

| Column                      | Contents                                                                           |
| --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Batch Name**              | The name, renameable in the batch panel                                            |
| **Links**                   | How many links are in the run                                                      |
| **Create Date**             | When the batch was exported — the default sort, newest first                       |
| **Print Status**            | Draft, Printing, Printed or Deployed                                               |
| **Comment**                 | The batch's notes                                                                  |
| **Item List**               | The Collection the batch was exported from, or a dash for a batch spanning several |
| **Allocated / Unallocated** | This batch's own split                                                             |

Click a row to open the batch panel. Use the column menu to hide columns you never look at —
that choice is saved in your browser, so it is per-device rather than per-account, and a
different computer starts from the defaults.

## Searching and filtering

* **Search** matches the batch name and its notes. Typing a supplier name recorded in the notes
  finds every run you ordered from them.
* **Filters and sorting** work on Batch Name, Links, Create Date, Print Status and Comment.
  **Item List** and **Allocated / Unallocated** are calculated when the page loads rather than
  stored, so they cannot be filtered or sorted on.
* **Show archived** at the top right brings archived batches into the table. Turning it on resets
  you to page one.
* Results are paged, 25 to a page by default.

## The Print History panel

The Access Links page has a second, narrower view of the same batches: a Print History panel with
a search box and filter chips for each status, each tag in use, and archived. It shows a batch's
cover photo as a thumbnail, which is often the quickest way to recognize a run. Use Access Media
when you want the table, and this panel when you want to skim.

## Filtering Items or Links by batch

The reverse question — "what was in that delivery?" — is answered from the batch panel. Its
**links** and **items** chips open the Access Links grid and the Items grid filtered to that
batch, which is how you get at the Items' own fields rather than the batch's summary.

One limit to know: with the Access Links grid filtered by batch, a bulk assign, unassign or
delete that acts on "everything matching" cannot use the batch filter as its scope and is
rejected with "batch\_id filter is not supported for bulk operations". Tick the specific rows you
want instead, and the same bulk actions work normally.
