Tailored Views

Throughout the Gatekeeper application you can tailor your view. You may wish to only see contracts you manage, you may want to create a specific table for reporting functions or filter a list to a certain set of criteria. All of this is possible in all versions of Gatekeeper, with drag and drop controls enabled for ease of use.
