Creating Custom Filters
Table of Contents
Introduction
Filters or views are used to separate desired records from the stack of other records and capture them in a different bucket.
For instance, you can quickly filter all the records in some particular territory and assign those records to your Sales Agent in that territory. You can also perform operations on filtered records like mass editing, deleting, sending emails, etc.
Create Custom Filters
This tutorial is designed to explain how filters are created in Vtiger CRM. We’ll explain to you how filters can be created in the Opportunities module. You can follow the same steps to create filters on other modules.
The process is the same for other modules: Leads, Contacts, Organizations, etc.

Providing Permissions
Now that you’ve successfully completed creating a filter, it’s time to fit it into your business requirements. You have a wide variety of options to get the most out of the filter you’ve created.
Set as Default
You might have thousands of records in your Vtiger CRM. You don’t deal with all of them. You can create filters and set the filter default so that you can view only the most important records. By clicking on the checkbox, the filter will be made default for you and other users in your Vtiger CRM account.

Click the check box beside the List in Metrics to be displayed on your dashboard. On the Dashboard, click Add Widget > Mini List > Opportunities > Lead Source - Cold Calls > select columns.
Once you’re done, click on the Save button.
Providing Permissions to view
You can check the Share the list checkbox and allow only users who can see the list.
Delete a list
