How Do I Save and Load Filters?

BookYourData saves any filter combination as a named preset and reloads it later with the Load Filter feature, so you never rebuild a search from scratch.

Written by Mark Giz

BookYourData saves any filter combination you build in Prospector as a named preset, so you reuse the exact same search later without rebuilding it.

Save a set of filters with the "Save Filters" button, find them later in the "Saved" tab, and reapply one with "Load Filter."

How to Save a Filter

Save a filter in BookYourData by applying your search criteria, clicking "Save Filters," and naming the set for later recall.

  1. Apply the filters you want in Prospector.

  2. Click "Save Filters."

  3. Name the filter set so you recognize it later.

Name the filter clearly, since that name is what appears later in the Saved tab.

For guidance on organizing multiple saved sets by use case, see saving filters for future searches.

Where Saved Filters Are Stored

BookYourData lists every saved filter in the "Saved" tab on the left menu, under the name you gave it.

How to Load a Saved Filter

Reload a saved search in BookYourData with the "Load Filter" feature, which reapplies that saved set's stored criteria.

FAQ

Where do saved filters appear?
Saved filters appear in the "Saved" tab on the left menu of Prospector, listed by the name you assigned when saving.

Why name a saved filter?
Naming a filter set makes it easy to recognize and recall from the "Saved" tab later, instead of guessing which set matches which search.

What does "Load Filter" do?
"Load Filter" reapplies a previously saved filter's stored criteria to your current search in Prospector, so you skip rebuilding it manually.
