Open the "All Files (No Classification)" view.  Using this view removes all folder structures from the display and allows the document manager to sort all files in the vault by log number or logged date (to do this, double-click on the preferred column header).  The Document Manager will perform the metadata QA process for all records in the vault.
  2. Open the QA Log and locate the log # or date following the last QA review.  The QA Log is an MS Excel spreadsheet (stored in the document manager's network folder) that is used to track documents through the QA process.  The QA Log also contains the QA Checklist (referenced in step 5) in a worksheet.
