Quick Filters

Using the new Quick Filter functionality, administrators can now create reusable templates for any list view for a specific object. The fields that a user can use to quickly filter a list of records are defined in these templates.

Administrators can enable keyword filtering in list views as well, which allows users to search for records with strings and wildcard characters. Keyword Filtering, Quick Filtering, and basic List View Filters all work together to return a single subset of entries in a list view. This allows users to easily filter records by criteria using the same search page rather than having to maintain numerous pages.

Enabling Quick Filtering

Quick filtering can be enabled for both global and tenant level roles. Ensure Quick Filtering is enabled in the global level before enabling at the tenant level.

To enable Quick Filtering on a global Level (across all the tenants), navigate to System Console > Shared Properties > Customize > User Interface and enable the EnableQuickFiltering shared property.

Likewise, to enable Quick Filtering on a tenant level, navigate to Setup Home > Administration Setup > Preferences > General Preference and enable the Enable Quick Filtering property.
