Video: My Filters Overview

Filters are a powerful tool enabling general or very specific searches to be applied. Filters are available on any page within Lucidity Software where lists of records or results are shown, as well as for specific reports and dashboard settings.

Filter features:

  • Search field for high level filtering

  • Various search filters for generating very specific searches, often split into filter categories

  • Ability to apply single or multiple filters at once

  • Save filter option

  • Reset Filters, which returns filters back to default settings (eg - may default to including Active users only)

  • Clear Filters, removing all entries in all filters (eg - will show results for Active and Inactive users)
