Filters and search

What is a filter?

A filter lets you view only the records that meet specific conditions, based on the fields in your table.

You can apply multiple filters simultaneously. Each additional filter narrows the results further — the table shows only records that match condition 1 and condition 2.

Filters are saved by default, so your view stays focused on what matters. For example, if you filter for incomplete tasks and then mark one as done, it automatically disappears from the filtered view.

Note: Filtering does not delete data. Records that don't match the active filter are simply hidden. Remove the filter and all data becomes visible again.

What is a search?

Search is a special type of filter. It narrows records based on a specific text or number found in any field in the table.

For example, finding "John Wick" in a large client list is much faster with a search than scrolling manually.

Tip: Use Command + F (Mac) or Control + F (Windows) to open the search bar directly in your Jestor app.
