Filters and saved lists
In the Filters And Lists tab on the Customize workspace, you can add search filters and saved lists that can be configured by users. Filters enable users to quickly find entity records that match filter criteria. They use saved lists to quickly access specific groups of entity records that can but do not have to share a common property.
Users can see all the filters they can view and edit in the data table in the Filters And Lists tab but they will create the criteria for the filters in other workspaces. This tab allows users to specify the name, subject area, and security of a filter. Users with proper privileges are the only ones who can create public filters.
Before you add filters and saved lists, you can search for specific filters and lists by entering a full or partial name in the text search field. For information about searching, see Searching and filtering in NexJ CRM.
For information about sorting the data table and selecting columns to display in the data table, see Navigating the NexJ CRM user interface.
