Filters can be applied to narrow down a large amount of data. You can filter posts by many types of parameters, for example: Surveys, Sources, Categories, Status, Date Ranges, and Location.

Surveys and Sources filters are located on the left side of the toolbar, while other filters are located towards the top of the toolbar.

Filters are additive, so you can apply as many as you would like. This search filter is available on all pages.


Find the button to sort posts just before all the post cards or the post details in the data view. You can sort posts by:

  • Date of creation

  • Post date i.e date when it was assigned to a survey

  • Date updated
