Filters & Custom Views
What are filters and how do they function?
When you apply a set of filters to an objective list, you’re creating a view. You can save custom views for later use or update existing views and save the changes.
Create a custom view
1. Click the "Objectives" module in the top toolbar.
2. Click "Show filters" to expose customization options. Doing so will change the display to "Hide filters".
3. If you are creating a view of objectives that you don't own, be sure remove the "Owner" filter:
4. Add additional filters to create the view and click "Save as New":
5. Enter a name for the filter and click "Save":
Note: You can copy/paste the URL of your view to share it with others.
6. The filter will appear as a new tab to the right of the 4 main tabs. As you add additional filters, this tab will become a drop-down:
Notes:
- The "Categories" filter displays the most commonly used categories, but users can search for other categories to filter by.
- The "Department" filter shows only the largest departments, but users can search for other departments to filter by.
