Using Filters

In addition to the full text search, you can narrow your search results using search filters. These quick filters were designed to help you quickly find people that fit a certain category. To select a filter -

  1. Click on one of the available filters under the search bar. Doing so will immediately filter out people that don't reflect the selected filter.
  1. Clicking on an active filter will deselect the filter.
  1. Multiple filters may be selected at a time. Doing so will result in both conditions being needed to be met for the people to be displayed below. For example, if you were looking for people that were Admins and also Managers, you would select both these filters to find relevant people within your organization.
 

Searching by Role and Title

Sometimes, you may have multiple people fulfilling the same role, or have the same title within a company. We have built the Search By filter to help you narrow your results in these cases.

Search by Role
To only search for employees within a particular Role -

  1. Click the Role Field under the Search By filter category and select a Role from the Roles dropdown
