How to Set a Customized Favourite Filter as Default?

3 min. readlast update: 05.13.2025

The Favourite Filter feature allows users to save frequently used filter configurations and set them as the default view for reports and dashboards. This helps streamline workflows by eliminating the need to manually reapply filters each time a user accesses a report.

Once set, the user can enable selected filter by default, providing a faster and more consistent user experience across sessions.

Note: Favourite filters are managed separately on desktop and mobile environments. Setting a default filter on one platform will not apply it to the other.

 

Benefits :

  • Time Efficiency- Eliminate the need to manually reapply the same filters each time you access a report.
  • Personalized Dashboards- Customize your view to focus only on the data most relevant to your role.
  • Simplified Data Access- Immediately see filtered results without navigating through multiple menu options.
  • Improved Productivity- Reduce clicks and time spent configuring reports for routine analysis.
