How to create your advanced filter list in the valve overview page

Updated over 3 weeks ago

You can create advanced filters on the Valve list overview page by choosing the column you wish to search in and then the text (the text field is automatically set to 'Contains', so you don't have to search for the exact text if you don't wish to do so).

How to create your Advanced Filter

  1. Start by choosing the column you wish to search in

  2. Input the text you wish to search for (the text input is set to 'Contains' so the text and/or number string doesn't have to be exact

  3. Press the 'Filter button' to generate the search results.

    1. Unfiltered list contains 72 total valves

    2. Filtered list (Title Contains 14) contains 36 total valves

  4. Click the 'Reset filter' button to return the valve list overview to the unfiltered state showing all valves

  5. You can also add more search criteria by clicking the '+Add Condition' button. This will bring up a new search box with the 'AND' condition set, which means the filter will generate the search results from matching both search criteria as one, not as an either/or alternative. The search results must match the search criteria exactly to get any filtered list showing. The text search input is agnostic in text upper/lower case, such as in the screenshot below that a lowercase 'g' search criteria will result in search results matching the uppercase 'G' in the Tag column

  6. Copy the link to the actual filter (which will be active even if you cancel out the filter on your end) and share it with others

    1. The filter URL remembers the exact filter search for the recipient when they click on the link: https://4insight.io/#/lighthouses/f2e6fade-a2ec-4bf3-8fab-bb42767f5f7c?page=valve-list&title=14&tag=g

  7. You can add more conditions as you see fit to really narrow down your search filter results

  8. The filter results in the valve list overview will stay active even when you click on other section headings. You have to actively reset (clean) the filter (or navigate out of the current ValveTrack instance completely) if you want the filter list to return to the total amount of valves uploaded
