Filters in the Asset Navigator are a powerful feature that allows users to save frequently used asset searches for quick access and reuse. This documentation provides a comprehensive guide on creating, updating, and managing filters in the system, as well as creating subscriptions.

## Create an asset filter

To create a new Asset Filter:

1. Navigate to **Apps** > **Asset and Inventory Plugin **> ** Asset Navigator**.
2. Refine your search based on your criteria.

> 📝 To learn more about utilizing search on the Asset Navigator, refer to [this documentation](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AIPC/pages/197954527/Asset+navigator#1.-Search-on-Asset-Navigator-%5BinlineExtension%5D).

3. Click **Save as filter**.
4. Define the following filter details:
  - **Filter name – **A unique name for your reference.
  - **Description (optional) – **Briefly describe the filter's purpose.
  - **Editors – **Share editing permissions with specific groups, users, or project roles, or keep it private. If you select Organization, any logged-in user on your instance will be able to edit the filter.
  - **Viewers –** Select who can view the filter.
5. Click **Save**.

This will create a *Filters* section in the Asset Navigator.

## Access and manage filters

The Asset Navigator's Filters section provides a central hub for all filters available to you. Simply click the dropdown to view a list of all filters you have permission to see. Selecting a saved filter displays the corresponding asset results.

You can also edit existing filters by opening the desired filter from the Asset Navigator, modifying the search criteria as needed, and clicking **Save** to update the filter's search parameters. When a filter is edited, “Edited” appears next to the filter name, indicating unsaved changes.

### Run an asset filter

You can run an asset filter in two ways:

- **From the Asset navigator:**
  - Select the filter from the **Filters** dropdown menu.
- **From the Filters tab:**
  - Click the **Filters** tab on the app top menu.
  - Click on the desired filter. This will take you to the Asset Navigator and show you the results for the filter.

## Filters tab

The Filters screen provides a central hub for managing all your filters within the application. Access it by clicking **Filters** from the top app menu. Here, you can:

- **Browse and Manage Existing Filters:** Get a comprehensive list of all created filters, including their names, owners, viewers, and editors.
- **Use the Filters:** Simply click on the filter name to be directed straight to its search results.
- **Refine Filter Criteria:** Easily modify existing filters to fine-tune your search results by clicking the three-dots icon and selecting **Edit**.
- **Create New Filters:** Create filters to pinpoint the exact data sets you need. You can either clone existing filters (from the three-dots icon menu) or create them entirely from scratch using the Asset Navigator.
