The filter panel on the objects page can be opened by clicking on the filter button to the left of the search bar on the objects page.
The objects page is an on-demand feature that can be requested to be enabled for ongoing projects.
New projects that are created based on a template project where this feature is enabled do not have this feature enabled.
The following topics will be described in this article:
This is what the search or filter menu can look like when opened:
Filter left panel
By clicking the filter button a panel will appear on the left side.
Check the boxes to narrow down the search.
These filters can be saved at the top of the filter list.
When any of these filters are applied the filter text will be added to your URL.
If the URL of the filtered page is shared the person opening it will see the same filter in the same folder as is currently displayed as long as they have access to it.
When any of the filters in the left panel are hovered over "only" can be clicked on the right of the filter to remove any other, previously applied, filters.

Filters
Note: The URL of the webpage changes depending on what filters have been applied. This makes it so the current filtered documents table can be shared with other members that are part of the project.
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
Different filters and their URL equivalents:
Models
Click on 3D to the right of the models category in the filter menu to filter on all models that are currently loaded into the 3D viewer.
Model name - model=<Model GUID>
Filter on a set of project models.

Selected - selected=true
Filter to only display rows for objects that are selected in the 3D viewer.
Filters that are not listed in the filter panel
Query
Query search - query=<Product>,<Operator>,<Value>
Click in the Search or filter bar to configure a filter that compares two values.
Product
The first selection can be any kind of IFC product.
This is what the product dropdown can look like:
Operator
The operator can only be selected after a product has been selected.
The operator part of the query filter decides how the product is compared against the value.
Depending on if the product can have any value or if the product can only have a limited set of values different operators can be chosen from:
Always available operators:
Equals - equals
When the selected product has exactly the entered value
Does not equal - not-equals
When the selected product does not have exactly the entered value
Exists - exists
When exists is selected, only a product can be selected and not a value as all values are part of this filter
Does not exist - not-exists
When does not exist is selected, only a product can be selected and not a value as all values are part of this filter
Limited set of value operators
This is what the operator dropdown can look like when the selected property has a limited set of values:
Contains - contains
Does not contain - not-contains
To get results about products that do not contain a specific value
Has value - has-value
When has value is selected, only a product can be selected and not a value as all values are part of this filter
Any value operators
This is what the operator dropdown can look like when the selected property can have any value:
In Range - range-inclusive
When the in range operator is selected there are two value fields.
This is what it can look like when an in range filter is edited.:
The range will be anything from the first value to the second value.
Greater Than or Equals - greater-than-equals
Greater Than - greater-than
Less Than or Equals - less-than-equals
Less than - less-than
Value
The value field behaves differently depending on the possible values that the selected product can have.
Number value
When the selected product can only have a number value arrows are displayed when the value field is clicked and only numbers can be entered.
Suggested values
When a product can have a text value it can be written directly in the value field.
This is what the value menu can look like when the Entity product has been selected.
When clicking in the value field a list of suggested elements is displayed below the field.
If the selected product can only have a limited set of values, this limited set of values is displayed in the suggested elements list.
If the selected product can have any value the suggested elements list shows a list of values that other products of this kind have.
