Filter the overview by a column

Column filters let you reduce the overview to exactly the documents you care about — only certain suppliers, only this month, only documents above a certain amount.

What do column filters do?

Every column in the overview can be filtered on its own, and filters apply on top of each other. A document only stays in the list if it matches all active filters.

Where: Approval → the overview

1. Click the magnifying-glass icon in the header of the column you want to filter. A search input appears under the header.

2. Enter or select what to keep. What the input does depends on the column type:

   Column type	Examples	How it filters
   Text	Vendor, Text, Doc. Number	Matches any part of the text you type
   Choice	Type, Payment type	Tick the values you want to keep from a list
   Date	Created, Document date, Payment date	Enter a date range
   Numeric	Total	Enter a number range

3. Repeat on as many columns as you need — there is no upper limit.

Example

Set Type to Invoice and tick one project in the Project column: the overview now shows only the invoices on that project.

How to see which filters are active

When a column has an active filter, its magnifying-glass icon stays highlighted. The counter at the bottom of the list updates immediately with the number of documents and their total amount.
