Filters - XWiki

Many areas of **Injury Master** such as Claims, Documents, Notes, Calendar, People and Contacts provide **Search** and **Filter** options to isolate particular items you are looking for. The **Search Bar** and **Filter** button are provided at the top right corner of any of these pages.

Other libraries such as those listed in **SETTINGS** only provide a **Search Bar** without Filter options. The Dashboard summaries do not include **Search Bars** but do provide a __Filter__ / __Filtered__ button which appears differently to other pages.

Filters are used by selecting the **Filter** button to reveal the drop-down options for filtering. The area of **IM** you are in will determine which **FILTER OPTIONS** are available. Most filter options are drop-down lists, some which are unchangeable, others which depend on your account settings (e.g. Users, People, etc.).

When you are happy with your filters, select **Apply Filter** to set your chosen filters.

Some areas also have a **TAGS** filter, displaying **Coloured Tags** you have created. Select a Tag to automatically apply the filter to show only items with your chosen Tag attached.

==== **Remember Filter** {{id name="remember-filter" /}}====

When using a filter, there is a __Remember this filter__ tick-box. If __Remember this filter__ is ticked when you **Apply Filter**, your filter will remain applied until you remove the filter. If the box is unticked, your filter will only remain until you leave the page.

Once a filter has been applied, the grey **Filter** button appears instead as a red **Filtered** button. Behind this **Filtered** option will now appear a **Remove Filter** button, which can be selected to remove your previously applied filters.

NOTE: A common issue that occurs is when Users can’t find an item in a list they are expecting to (e.g. Claims). Look for the **Filtered** button as an indication of if you are viewing everything that you are hoping to.
