Filtering options

Working with filters allows you to quickly focus on a particular subset of your assets, geozones, users,…

Filters and list search

The Sensolus platform provides different searching and filtering options to make it easy to create lists or dashboards from a subset of assets or other items.

For all available lists, it is possible to search and filter on the item name (for example: asset name, geolayer name, alert rule name, flow name, maintenance program name,visibility filter name, etc. ).

In addition to the simple name filters, a set of more advanced filters is available, e.g. for the following items:

Asset filters: allows you to focus on a specific subset of all your assets.
External BLE filter: allows you to focus on a specific subset of all your external BLE sensors.
Infrastructure filter: allows you to focus on a specific subset of your infrastructure devices.

Note: One of the most powerful features available when working in an environment with many items, is the ability to combine multiple filters into a consolidated view. Combining different filters applies the AND logic for the different filters on the considered table of items.

How to filter

If you want to filter on a list you can filter in two ways:


Filter option	Image of the filter	Interaction
General filter options available on the top of every list		Click the Filters button. All fields where you can filter upon are shown. Select the field you want to filter upon. This field appears as a new filter in the bar. Now configure you filter (options depend on the field itself).
The fast filter next to each item in every item in the list		Click the button next to the field you want to create a filter upon. This makes the filter visible in the filter navigation bar. This field appears as a new filter in the bar, directly configured based on your choice. + (show only the fields containing this choice), - (show everything except the field)

Save, load & reset filter

Once you have configured a filter using one or more filter options, it is possible to save that filter with a specific name for later use. This is especially valuable for users who frequently need to focus on a particular subset of the available information. For example, if you always want to investigate the battery status of the trackers in a particular geozone.

To save, load or reset a list filter select the filter icon in the filter bar.

Reset filter: clear the filter that is applied on the table, and go back to the default list.

Save filter: give a name to the currently active filtered view (which takes into account the combination of filters, the selected columns and the ordering of the table) and save it so you can easily reuse it.

Load filter: select an existing filtered view from the list of previously saved filter views. This will apply the combination of saved filters and selected columns on the considered table and only list the items that comply to this combination of filters.
