Process Filters

Feature ID: FU-1050

Document Version: 1.0

Date: 28-11-2025

Introduction

In the Manage View section, where all record data for a process is stored, users can apply Process Filters to quickly narrow down the list of records based on field-specific requirements.

Each column in the record table, including metadata fields like Status or Owner, or a checklist field like Text, Picklist, Date, File Upload, Form, or Linked Record, supports its own filter options. These filters allow users to view only the records that match specific criteria, making it easier to work through large datasets and analyse process information efficiently.

Feature Functionalities

  • Every field in the record list includes a filter dropdown that shows available filter options based on that field’s type.

  • You can access and use two broad types of filters:

    • Category Filters (broad, system-defined filters such as Blank, Non-blank).

    • Specific Value Filters (user-defined values such as picklist values, specific users, specific linked records, specific forms, etc.).

  • Filters are available across Metadata fields such as Status, Owner, Due date, Participants, and Priority, as well as Checklist fields, including picklists, text, numbers, PDFs, file uploads, Linked Records, forms, and dates.

  • Advanced date filtering, including week-to-date, month-to-date, quarter-to-date, year-to-date, Last X days/months/years, next X days/months/years, custom date range, Due After, and Due Before.

  • Linked Record–specific filtering, including filter by specific linked records and filtering via embedded field values.

  • Embedded record filtering: For embedded picklists inside Linked Records, users can also enable “All embedded records” to ensure only form records containing the selected value appear.

  • Multiple filters can be applied together for convenient and easy filtering.

  5. Click the dropdown arrow to open the Filter panel for that field.


2. Using Filters for Metadata Fields

    • Current week to-date

    • Last week

    • Current month to-date

    • Last month

    • Current quarter to-date

    • Last quarter

    • Current year to-date

    • Last year

    • Last X days/months/years

    • Next X days/months/years

    • Date Range (start and end date)

    • Due After a specific date

    • Due Before a specific date

d. Participants field can be filtered by Blank or Non-blank options.

  • Supports multiple selections.

e. Priority Filters include specific priority levels such as:

  • Low

  • Normal

3. Using Filters for Checklist Fields

Most checklist fields have blank and non-blank filtering options. You can use this to filter fields that have data or the ones that are empty. This option is available for:

  • Text fields

  • Picklist fields

  • Number fields

  • File upload fields

  • PDF fields

  • Date fields

  • Linked Record fields

  • Forms

In addition to the above filter, some checklist fields have additional filtering options.

a. Picklist Filters

  • Filter by specific picklist values.

b. Embedded Picklist Filters

  • Additional toggle: Filter by Value → All embedded records.

    • When disabled: Filtering is applied only to the main record (even if multiple embedded values exist).

    • When enabled: All embedded records are filtered, so only form records containing the selected value appear.

c. Linked Record Filters

  • Filter by Specific linked record names

  • All embedded checklist fields inside the linked record also display separate filters.

d. Form Filters

  • Option to Expand to show values.

Best Practices

  • Use category filters first (e.g., Pending, Completed, Blank, Non-blank) to broadly narrow down your dataset.

  • Combine specific value filters for more targeted views when working with large processes.

  • For Linked Record fields, enable “All embedded records” if working with nested form values to ensure fully accurate filtering.

  • Use the “Me” filter in Owner and Participants to quickly view your assigned or involved items.

  • Prefer date range filters during audits or validation periods to isolate specific timelines.

  • Clear filters regularly to avoid confusion when navigating between different processes.
