Using filters
Provided the activity creator has added the filtering options to the view, you can filter and sort the displayed list of entries by
- applying a predefined filter (if exist)
- using the quick search and per page options (Quick filter)
- creating and applying your own advanced filters (My saved filters)
All filters are available from the filters menu dropdown. To apply a filter, select the desired filter from the list. To un-apply the currently selected filter, select 'Choose...'.
The Quick filter
To display only entries that contain a certain text content in any of the (view) fields enter the text in the 'Search' input box and press Enter. This will create the Quick filter (or update it if it already exists) and apply it to the view (the Quick filter will show as selected in the filters menu). If you want to clear the search criterion from the Quick filter, clear the input box and press Enter.
To display only a certain number of entries per page, select the desired number in the Per page dropdown. Similar to the 'Search', a Quick filter will be created (or updated) and applied. If you want to clear the paging from the Quick filter, select 'Choose...' in the 'Per page' dropdown.
You have only one Quick filter and it is updated whenever you use the 'Search' and 'Per page' options. If you want to completely remove the Quick filter from the list, select '* Reset quick filter' in the filters menu.
The Advanced (user) filter
