  • How to save filter configurations as favourites for quick access


Why Use Filters?

Filters help you quickly find the exact information you need across the Uptick web platform. Whether you're looking for tasks due this week, completed jobs for a specific client, or assets in a particular location, filters save you time by displaying only relevant results.

You can combine multiple filters to create precise searches and save these configurations as favourites for instant access later.


Understanding the Filter Bar

Filters appear at the top of most pages in Uptick. Here's what each component does:

Search Bar

Type keywords to instantly search. Results update as you type.

Add Filter Button

Click to select from available filters. You can apply multiple filters at once to narrow your results.

Favourites Button ⭐

Save your current filter configuration or select a previously saved favourite. Favourites can also be added as quick access tiles on your dashboard.

Active Filters Display

Shows all currently applied filters. Click the minus (βˆ’) icon next to any filter to remove it.


How to Apply Filters

  1. Click "Add Filter" to see available filter options

  2. Select a filter type (e.g., Status, Client, Due Date)

  3. Choose your filter logic (see below)

  4. Select or enter your value using the dropdown or date picker

  5. Add more filters as needed to refine your search

  6. Results update automatically as you apply filters


Understanding Filter Logic

Many filters include logic switches that control how they work:

Is / Is Not

  • Is: Shows only items that match (e.g., Status Is Complete)

  • Is Not: Excludes items that match (e.g., Status Is Not Complete)

Active: Yes / No

  • Yes: Shows only active items

  • No: Shows only inactive items

Date Filters (Created, Due, Completed)

Choose between:

  • Fixed Date: Select a specific date using the date picker

  • Relative to Now: Choose from beginning of day, week, month, or year (e.g., "Due Before: End of Week")


Saving Filters as Favourites

Save frequently used filter combinations to access them instantly:

  1. Apply the filters you want to save

  2. Click the Favourites button (⭐)

  3. Select "Save as Favourite"

  4. Give it a clear name (e.g., "Overdue Tasks - Sydney")

  5. Click Save

Tip: Add favourites to your dashboard as tiles for one-click access. Learn more in How to Set Up Appropriate Favourites.
