Filters narrow the data in reports, listings, products and other parts of the app. Combine them to get exactly the view you need.

## Open the filter panel

Click the **filter icon** (the funnel) at the top of any page that supports filtering. A panel opens on the right, with your active filters on the left and the filters you can add on the right.

## Add and remove filters

Click a filter's name in the **Add Filter** list. It appears as a card under Active Filters, open for editing.

To remove a filter, click the **delete icon** at the top right of its card.

## Filter types

- **Multiselect**: choose one or more values from a list, such as retailers, products or markets. Select All is available.
- **Toggle pills**: click buttons on or off, such as lifecycle status, ranging status or importance.
- **Date**: pick a preset period (last 7 days, last 30 days, last quarter and others) or a custom range.
- **Range**: enter a minimum and a maximum. Leave either blank to set only one limit.
- **Text search**: type, then click a result to select it.

## How filters combine

Several values **in one filter** match any of them. Three retailers in the retailer filter returns items from any of the three.

Several **different filters** must all match. A retailer filter and a date filter return only items that meet both. An **and** between the filter cards shows this.

## Dependent filters

Some filters need another filter first:

- **SKU Attributes** needs a product.
- **Attribute Values** needs attribute IDs.

If a filter is greyed out in the Add Filter list, check that its prerequisite is set. Removing a filter also clears any filters that depend on it.

## Filters that can't be combined

- **SKU List**, **SKUs** and **SKU Attributes**: only one at a time.
- **Product** and **Publisher** (brand).
- **Territory** and **Retailer Owner**.

## Filter count

A badge on the filter icon shows how many filters are active on the page.
