Filters

Filters can be used with every Trello view except Dashboards. They do exactly what they sound like – they filter all of the cards on the board(s) to only show a subset of cards based on criteria that you set.

Follow along and set up a filter with the cards you’ve already created. To access filters, click the gray Filter button at the top right of your board, just next to the Automation button:

Clicking the Filter button reveals a menu of options showing you the filtering capabilities.

Dimensions to filter by

Filters are powerful for querying multiple dimensions of a card. You can combine them to get a clear picture of exactly what you’re looking for, such as your tasks for the week that are currently blocked, or what client tasks must be completed today.
