To share a set of filters on any page with a project member first activate the filters so they appear in the search bar.

This article contains information about the following topics:

URL changes

The URL changes depending the on the contents of the table and the filters that are applied.

Click on a row to open the contents of that row and notice the URL change with it.

Apply a filter to narrow down the results of the table elements and notice the URL change with it.

If multiple of the same filters selected they are separated by a , or %2C

If multiple filters are selected they are separated by & or %26

Sharing filters so the recipient can save them

Since the URL reflects page navivation and the currently applied filteres it can be shared with other users.

Note that results may vary depending on if the person opening the link is part of the project or if they have access to the page that is navigated to or the elements in the table.

The URL to the filtered page can easily be sent via Sharelink or by copying it from the URL bar of the browser and pasting it in a message.

This will notify the user about a set of filters so they can easily find the content you want them to see.

When a set of filters is shared more than once users might consider saving the filter combination.

Saving personal filters

A set of filters can be saved in the filter menu.

The filters are only saved for each user individually.

By using saved filters you can easily find the filter again next time you want to share it with a project member.

Saving project filters

Save the URL of a set of filters in the links library so project members can look up different sets of filters that have been suggested.

A library of filters

By directing project members to the link in the links library they can find the filter you want to show them as well as any other filters that have been configured there which can be useful for them.

Make project filters discoverable

By linking links library elements to topics and objects different filters can be discovered by project members saving you the trouble of having to notify them about their existance.
