Tip #58: 5 filters helpful in Card views



Filters help us spot specific cards and limit the results that are displayed on screen. This helps us focus on a set of cards and group data easily. Filtering can be performed by configuring conditions based on default and custom fields in Qntrl.
 
To filter cards, click on the Filter dropdown under the Cards tab, select the custom or default field you would like to filter with, and select the condition to filter. Filters in Cards are available in Kanban as well as List views. Here are 5 different filters that could benefit you.
 

1. Find cards that are due today

Cards that are nearing deadlines will need our immediate attention. To specifically view these cards, you can set a filter for ‘Due on- Today’. This helps us focus on the tasks for the day and avoid overdue cards.


 

2. Find cards in a specific stage

Cards in every step of a process can be specifically viewed using ‘Stages’ in filters. For instance, in a logistic dispatch workflow, all the cards that are in ‘Ready to dispatch’ stage can be filtered and viewed at once using filters.
 

3. Find cards requested by a particular client

Since cards from different customers get logged into your Qntrl organization, filters can be used to distinguish and work on the cards of different clients. Use ‘Requestor’ field to choose the client name and filter your cards.
 

4. Filter using custom fields

Qntrl also supports filtering cards with custom fields like Dropdown, User Dropdown, Single-Line, Email Address, and Link. Values of these custom fields can be set as conditions to filter cards. For example, User Dropdown custom field can be used to filter cards associated to specific users. 
 

5. Filters as custom views

Qntrl provides users with the option to save the filters configured for individual orchestrations as custom views. This helps users reuse the filters again instead of configuring them every time. Learn how to save filters as custom views.
