# Monolith UI Features

Monolith includes common interface tools that work consistently across the platform. Learning these features can make it easier to find information, customize record views, and work efficiently with larger amounts of data.

These tools are used throughout areas such as Cases, Evidence Items, Inquiries, Clients, Contacts, Tasks, and other record-based views.

### Common UI Features

#### Tables

**Tables** display collections of records throughout Monolith.

Use table controls to:

* Sort records by column
* Show or hide available fields
* Reorder and resize columns
* Adjust how information is displayed
* Work with the metadata most relevant to your workflow

See [**Tables**](/monolith/using-monolith/monolith-ui-features/tables.md) for additional guidance.

#### Query Filter

**Query Filter** narrows a table to records that match specific field-based conditions.

Filters can be used to focus on the information you need without changing the underlying records.

For example, you might filter Cases by Status, Evidence Items by Type, or Inquiries using Custom Field values.

See [**Query Filter**](/monolith/using-monolith/monolith-ui-features/query-filter.md) for additional guidance.

#### Global Search

**Global Search** helps locate records across Monolith without first navigating to a specific section.

Use Global Search when you know what you are looking for but may not know exactly where the record is located.

See [**Global Search**](/monolith/using-monolith/monolith-ui-features/global-search.md) for additional guidance.
