Additionally to the filtering applied because of the album selection, you may use the following tools to filter the studies table items.
 Database | This item allows you to filter the displayed studies by providing a string to match against the available items. By enabling the soundex checkbox, the search mechanism will use an algorithm to also include phonetically matching items. By clicking on the little loupe icon, you will be able to specify what item properties your string shall be matched against. If an album is currently selected, an additional label will appear, telling you how many studies match in the complete database. By clicking on this label the album will be deselected and the whole database results will be displayed. |

Database
Studies and series are presented in a table. You should be familiar with this data presentation model, quite common in macOS apps and in the Finder itself: you may change the items order by clicking on the column headers, thus determining the new primary sorting key, marked with an arrow sign; by clicking on the current primary sorting key column header, you will invert the sorting order. By right-clicking on the table headers you can choose which columns should be displayed, and you can reorganize the order in which columns are arranged by dragging them to their desired position.
