How to Configure Dashboard Quick Filters

Quick Filters are pre-set filters that are displayed to user directly in the kanban and are available without interacting with Filters sidebar.

Quick Filters have the following features:

  • they always work together with each other, joined by logical "AND". This means when user applies two or more Quick Filters, all of them will be applied and cards matching all of them will be shown.

  • they work together with main and custom Filters (which are shown in the Filters Panel), joined with them by logical "AND".

  • they have no "is null / is not null" operators available to configure. They have "include empty" checkbox instead. This checkbox allows to filter by empty values at the same time as by set ones, and empty values will be searched together with specified joined by logical "OR".

E.g., filtering by "Amount < 1000" with "include empty" checked will find cards for records where field "Amount" is less than 1000 or is blank at all

Note: Quick Filters for checkboxes (boolean type fields) have no "include empty" checkbox.

Open Kanban Config and go to "Quick Filters Configuration" tab. Here you can see some options:

Highlights panel: The panel is located below the header, directly above the working columns. This option is selected by default.

Use Apply Button checkbox The system supports two filter activation types: Instant: data is updated automatically whenever filter values are changed.
