Using View Time as Search Criteria
Adding View Time to your searches can help you:

Issuer Search: See all filings from a specific issuer that you viewed on a certain date, or within a date range.
-
Industry [SEDAR] Search: Retrieve filings from a specific industry that you have previously viewed.
-
Document Category Search: Find specific types of filings you have already seen within a selected timeframe.
These are just examples—experiment with View Time to refine your searches based on your needs.
Clearing Your View History

Clearing Specific Documents
