What table filters do

A busy table soon has hundreds of entries. Filters let people narrow it to what they need — one partner's activities, one sector, the last month — without scrolling.

The filters you set up here are available to everyone who opens the table, on the Project dashboard and on every Site dashboard. Setting one up doesn't filter the table for anyone: each person picks the values they want (for example Status: Complete), and that choice changes only what they see.

There are two kinds:

  • Standard filters — Site, Region, Site Type, Site Status and Organization. The system provides them on every table, because every entry belongs to a site.

  • Your own filters — made from the table's own fields, such as Implementing partner (Who) or Activity date (When).
