Saved views and filters¶
Why this matters¶
Search and filters covered how to create a basic filter. This page goes further: how to organize your saved filters, when to share them with the team, and how to leverage configurable columns and default sorting.
A filter = conditions + columns + sort¶
A saved filter in ImmCase doesn't just remember conditions. It also saves:
- The columns shown (which fields appear in the table).
- The sort (which column to order by, ascending or descending).
- The view mode (table, cards, or kanban).
That's why the same module can have very different filters: "Urgent cases this month" in kanban, "Overdue collections" in table with financial columns, "New applicants" in cards with photos and key data.
Filter types¶
- Private — only you see them. For your personal routines ("my open cases", "my collections this month").
- Shared — the whole practice sees them. Useful for standard team views ("cases in submission stage", "invoices overdue 30+ days").
- Default (configured by an administrator) — the first thing you see when you enter the module.
When creating a filter, tick Share if you want your team to see it. Your administrator can promote a shared filter to be the module's default.
Edit and delete saved filters¶
- Edit your filter: open it, adjust conditions/columns/sort, Save. Overwrites the existing filter.
- Create a variation: open it, adjust, pick Save as new with another name.
- Delete: filter menu → Delete. You only delete your own filters — shared ones are managed by whoever created them or an administrator.
Column keyboard shortcuts¶
On each column header:
- Click — sort ascending; second click, descending.
- Right-click (or context menu) — column options: hide, pin, adjust width.
- Drag — reorder columns.
These changes apply to your current view. To save them permanently, overwrite the filter.
When a filter vs. a search¶
| Case | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| One-off lookup of a single record | Search |
| Several times a day, same criteria | Private saved filter |
| The whole team needs it | Shared saved filter |
| First thing someone should see on the module | Default filter (admin) |
Watch out for¶
- Shared filters can clutter. If someone creates one with an unclear name, the team gets confused. Use descriptive names: "Active PR Express cases" beats "new cases 2".
- The default filter is the first thing the user sees. If your administrator set one too restrictive, new users think the module is empty. Report this if it happens.
- Deleting a shared filter affects the team. Before deleting, ask if anyone uses it.
Where to next¶
- Comments and @mentions — internal team communication inside a record.
- Activity timeline — change audit.
