Filters

Learn how to create, save, and share your filters.

By using a certain view that has been adjusted to your needs on Requests page, you can save it as a filter and share it with different users. Also, you can use the filters shared with you but created by others. If you find certain filters particularly useful, it’s possible to add them to your Favorites section so that they’re easily accessible.

Info

The Organizations filters are displayed automatically. They are helpful to users who are assigned to more than one organization. To access them, navigate to the Organizations section that appears on the left sidebar displayed on Requests page.
