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.
User Journey
1. Accessing Process Filters

Navigate to Manage View.
Select any Process you have configured.
You will see a list of all process records and their revisions.
On the record table, each field column displays a dropdown arrow.
Click the dropdown arrow to open the Filter panel for that field.
2. Using Filters for Metadata Fields
All the metadata fields of a record has its own filter type.
a. Status can be Filtered by two main status categories:
Mapped to Pending
Mapped to Completed
Additional category filters:
Include Archived
Include Cancelled
Specific status names can also be selected.
You can also use “Select All” or “Select None” options for faster filtering.

Blank
Non-blank
Specific owners can be selected from the searchable list.
Includes a “Me (Always selects the viewer)” option to filter to your items.
c. Due Date can be filtered by either Blank or Non-blank options.
Advanced date filters such as:
Current week to-date
Last week
Current month to-date

Last X days/months/years
Next X days/months/years
Date Range (start and end date)

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

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.
