About Filters in Quick Tasks

This article provides information about the Filters in Quick Tasks.

The filters in Quick Tasks allow you to select directory members and families based on a range of filter criteria and perform an action on the results. You can use a variety of filters in combination to find the members / families you need.


Find Quick Tasks

To customize the filters displayed, click the funnel icon on the filter card, and then select the filters you wish to use.


Tags Filter

You can filter your results to include families or members with a given tag or tags added to their Directory entries. The list of tags by which you can filter is prepopulated with the tags you have created in your system. To filter by tags, select the tag or tags in the drop-down menu.

Note* If you select multiple tags, the system only returns family and member results with all the tags you have selected. For example, if you select to filter by both a Bible Study and an Usher tag, the results include only those families and members that have both a Bible Study tag and an Usher tag applied to their entry. Therefore, filtering for more than one tag generally reduces the number of results.
