# How do I use the filters in the Measuremen Portal?

## Here we present a complete guide to using filters in the Measuremen Portal.

#### **1. Why Use Filters?**

Filters allow users to tailor the data they see based on relevant criteria such as:

- **Date ranges**
- **Space types**
- **Departments**
- **Floors**
- **Building selections**
- Etc.

By narrowing down your view, you can uncover usage patterns, spot inefficiencies, and make better-informed workplace decisions.

#### **2. How Filters Work**

#### **Top-to-Bottom Hierarchy**

Filters in the Measuremen Portal are structured with a **top-down priority system**. This means:

- If you change a filter **higher in the list**, all filters **below it will reset** to their default values.
- This behaviour ensures data consistency by avoiding incompatible or outdated filter combinations.

**Example**: If you change the building selection at the top of the filter list, all subsequent filters like department, floor, or room type will revert to default, reflecting only what's relevant for the newly selected building.

**Note**: The filter column can be hidden by clicking on the arrow at the middle of the column. To bring it back in view, simply click on the arrow again.

#### **3. Setting Your “Personnalised” Default Filters**

Each **dashboard chapter** in the Measuremen Portal allows you to personalize filter defaults. This saves time and ensures consistency every time you return to that dashboard.

**Steps to Save Your Default Filters:**

1. Navigate to the dashboard chapter you want to customize.
2. Adjust the filters to your preferred selections.
3. Click on the 3 dots  in the top-right corner of the filter column, then click on **“Set as my default filters”.**
4. Your filter setup is now saved for that specific chapter.

**Using Your Default Filters:**

- If you've made changes and want to revert to your saved default filters, simply click the **refresh icon**.
- The filters will return to the default state you've previously configured.

**Note**: These defaults apply **only to the current dashboard chapter**. Each chapter can have its own separate set of default filters.
