How to use the Navigator Page

Updated over a year ago

The Navigator tool is the go-to place to search for specific terms across your entire portfolio, filter for a subset of documents, or build and export a custom report.

Filtering Capabilities

In Navigator, you have the ability to create and save filters of your choosing. This is useful when wanting to quickly refer back to a data set that you tailored previously that highlights the points you are specifically interested in.

Upon launching, the Default view will still be present. This includes all of the public and private documents you have access to.

By adding a filter, you can narrow down the pool of documents from the default view and further narrow down the results by adding multiple filters. To add filters to the Navigator, click on "Add Filter." A smaller composite window will open with a drop-down menu that allows the user to choose which parameters to apply. Click "Add" to continue customizing the filter set, and "Apply" to complete the customization.

In order to save this filter set for future viewing, click the button "Save Filter Set" on the left-hand side. A new window will open to set a filter name. Once the name has been saved, the filter set will appear on the left-hand side of the Navigator page for easy access.

Note: Any newly uploaded and processed documents that fall within any saved filter set will automatically populate within that list.

Editing Columns

Using Navigator, you are able to source metric data to analyze across your portfolio. In order to do this, click on Actions > Edit Columns. This will open a composite window with a search bar. You can begin typing to search for the term you would like to pull the data for, or you can click on the arrow at the end of the bar to view the entire list of available terms.

Select up to 15 terms from the list that you would like to view across your deals. This can include any key deal information (i.e. Sponsor, EBITDA, total leverage) or analyzed terms (i.e., free and clear amount, prepayment protection). Once selected, the added columns will populate in green below the default or "locked" columns.

Click Save, and the columns will populate to the right of the default columns. The sourced data for each metric will be presented so it is easy to view and analyze across your comp set.

Export to Excel

The Navigator page also allows you to export everything that you have built out to Excel. We often see users utilizing this feature to manipulate the data in the sheet to meet their analytical and benchmarking needs.

Simply select Actions > Export to Excel located in the upper right corner of the screen to download right to your computer.
