Filter Views are used to create lists of contacts, accounts, opportunities, and more, based on rules that are set by you. So whether you want to pull up every contact with certain tags or every opportunity that has been inactive for greater than two weeks, filter views are the best way to do this quickly and efficiently.

hello vipers let's talk about filter

0:04

views

0:05

so filter views are an easy way to pull

0:09

up groups of most commonly contacts but

0:12

also accounts contact lists

0:17

tasks opportunities and more

0:21

based on

0:22

certain criteria

0:24

so that might be if you want to pull up

0:25

every contact that

0:27

is in a particular city has certain uh

0:31

certain tags on the contact

0:33

or maybe you've

0:35

reached out to them in a certain amount

0:37

of time

0:38

this is how you'll want to go about

0:40

doing that and the difference between

0:41

filter views and contact lists

0:44

is that

0:45

contact lists are contacts that you just

0:48

put into a list regardless of the

0:50

criteria at least as far as the system

0:52

is concerned

0:53

filter views

0:55

are are based on that moment's criteria

0:58

and how they match it so for instance if

0:59

you're pulling up every contact that is

1:02

in the state of massachusetts and then

1:04

you change a contact to a different

1:06

state they will automatically be removed

1:08

from that filter view

1:10

um so

1:12

to to pull up a filter view

1:15

you'll want to go to contact accounts or

1:17

whatever it is that you're looking to

1:19

filter

1:20

and then you will see this filter button

1:22

right here

1:23

click on that

1:24

and here's where you can apply the rules

1:27

so uh so for instance

1:31

let's uh let's say first name is

1:34

john

1:39

okay

1:40

and then there we go we've got one

1:42

contact that matches that criteria

1:45

and of course you can apply multiple

1:47

rules here as well

1:48

and uh also if you just hit

1:50

letters on your key keyboard you'll be

1:53

able to sort of search these relatively

1:55

quickly

1:59

okay you give it the rule

2:02

name filter view hit ok

2:05

and there we go so what we just did was

2:07

we searched for every crate every

2:09

contact that matches this particular tag

2:14

and you can also

2:17

apply this filter across multiple users

2:19

contacts so if you are like an admin for

2:21

instance and you are

2:23

able to

2:24

to view multiple people's contacts

2:27

then this way you can actually pull up

2:30

uh results from everybody who you are

2:32

allowed to see

2:34

and you can also share this with other

2:35

users so if this is a useful filter for

2:38

other people who are in your team

2:40

hit all users right there and then other

2:42

people in your team will be able to see

2:43

this filter view as well

2:46

one other thing

2:48

is that you can start your filters as

2:50

well and so the difference here is that

2:52

well first of all

2:54

uh you are able to

2:56

bring up your filter view

2:58

by looking right here so uh so for

3:00

instance

3:03

you know you start the day and you want

3:04

to pull up that example filter view that

3:07

was made you go right here my contacts

3:09

is often going to be a default view or

3:11

maybe all contacts

3:13

then you can scroll through here

3:17

find your filter view and pull it up

3:20

however

3:21

if it's uh

3:22

it's a filter view that you want to give

3:24

a larger presence and make easier to to

3:27

pull up you can start

3:30

hit refresh and

3:32

then you will see it over here in your

3:35

starred

3:36

filters

3:39

click the star again

3:40

and you can remove it from there

3:44

so that those are the basics about

3:46

filters

3:47

let us know if you have any additional

3:49

questions we'd be happy to help
