## My Accounts Alphabar on iPad

To allow users to find accounts quickly, the List tab on My Accounts displays an alphabar on the right side of the page. Users can select a letter to navigate to that section of the account list.

For example, a user has many accounts listed on the List tab of the My Accounts page on their iPad. They want to view account details for Dr. Lori Baker. They select the letter B in the alphabar to see the accounts beginning with that letter. They see Dr. Baker’s name is listed near the top and select the account to view the details.
