Use saved filters

Save a reusable result set, update it as your workflow changes, or apply it automatically as a page default.

Save a result set you use again

A saved filter stores the current search, filter conditions, and supported view options for one type of list. It reevaluates those rules against the current library each time you apply it. Relative date offsets such as -1y3m remain relative, so the saved result window moves forward with time.

Open the bookmark menu on a list page to reuse, update, delete, or create saved filters.

1. Set the search, filters, sort, display mode, and supported view options you want to keep.
2. Open Saved filters and choose Save current filter.
3. Enter a unique name and save it.

Reuse, update, or delete a saved filter

Open Saved filters and select a name to apply it. To change an existing saved filter, first arrange the current page exactly as you want, then use Update with current filter beside its name. Delete removes the named filter but does not delete any matching library items.

Named saved filters belong to their content type. A video filter appears on video lists, while an image filter appears on image lists.

Find, rename, and group saved filters

The first row of the Saved filters menu is a search box. Start typing to narrow the list to names containing what you typed; the match count appears on the right. Use the arrow keys to move between matches and Enter to apply the highlighted one. Escape clears the search, and a second Escape closes the menu.

To group saved filters, name them Group / Name, with a space on each side of the slash. Filters that share a group name are listed together under a header you can collapse, and groups appear above the filters without one. A slash without spaces, as in 1080p/4K, does not start a group. Use the pencil beside a name to rename a filter in place; renaming does not change what it filters.

The group is part of the name, so other places that list saved filters, such as dashboard widgets and the command-line interface, show the full name. Which groups are collapsed is remembered in this browser.

Open a page with a default filter

Choose Set current as default when a page should automatically open with its current filter and view state. Use Clear default filter to return that page to its ordinary starting state. Defaults are personal preferences and can be different for pages that otherwise share the same saved-filter type.
