## About filters and search

Filters let you narrow down the list of Boxes or further filter the collection of tasks in the scope of a Box. Filters are cumulative - only the tasks/Boxes that meet all conditions are displayed.

Available module filters:

> Macro (children)

The Search Box and the Filters option are available in the header:

![Highlighted Search box and Filters option.](media://9ae8aa1a-0f79-43d0-97ec-bc0b6a82e296)

Click the **Filters** option to access Quick filters, Custom query, and Date range options.

The filter options are available in the following modules:

- Overview
- Gantt
- Scope
- Risks

## Active filters

Once you activate filters, the App remembers and maintains them even when you switch the view or go to a different module.

**Note**: While filters are executing, a loading progress indicator appears at the top. The indicator lets you know that the request is being processed. Reissuing the request is unnecessary, as it will increase the wait time.

### Filters are applied per module

When you activate a filter, it applies only to the module you are currently in.

If needed, you can apply a current filter to all modules. This overwrites any active filters in the other module.

### Filters are applied per user

Filters are active per user—when you activate the filters, other users are NOT affected; only your view is changed. 

## Clear filters

An orange dot indicates that filters are presently active. Click the dot to clear the active filters for the current module.

You can also choose the **Clear all active filters from** option from the *Filter Options* list, or clear all the filters in all the modules.
