Filter doesn't auto-apply

glotzbach

Dear community,

I'm a bit new, so apologies for any newb question. I have applied a filter but any time a field is changed (and therewith it should disappear due to the filter), it stays there until I open the filter again and click 'apply'.

Is this true also for changes made by my colleagues; do I need to re-apply the filter after every edit to effectuate the filter for all rows?

Hi glotzbach,

You're correct—sheet data will only be filtered out at the time that filter is applied. Newly added data won't continuously be filtered out while the filter is applied. You can quickly disable and enable the filter again by clicking the filter button to the left of the filter dropdown. Details on this are available in the help center: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/504659-using-filters-to-show-or-hide-sheet-data

Refreshing the page also does the trick for me. The filter remains turned on but the data will refresh.
