Acquisitions Tab
The Acquisitions tab provides an overview of all acquisitions within a given session. Acquisitions are listed in chronological order of when the data was acquired. Each acquisition can have multiple files associated with it, typically different file formats of the same underlying data.
Filtering and Sorting
You can find specific data using the filter controls above the acquisitions list. Available filters include file name, created date, classification, and file type.

- File: Sort by file name, created date, classification, or file type.
Click a sort option to toggle between ascending and descending order.
