# Filters (built-in)

Automatically generated filtering tools

Every table in your Jet app has built-in filtering functions. There are two ways to access these:

1. Click on the filter icon on the upper right of the table.
2. Click on the field you want to filter at the top of the table and choose *Filter by field.*

In both of these cases, it is necessary to choose the logical expression for filtering and then type in the value that you wish to use for the filter. If you want to create a filter that provides a list of values to choose from, [add a filter component.](https://docs.jetadmin.io/user-guide/design-and-structure/components/filters)

### Filter your collection

You can also use the same built-in filtering tools in the Data Editor. The process is the same, the only difference is that the filter button is on the upper left of the Data Editor instead of being on the upper right.

## Using built-in Multiple Select filter

To filter a table using multiple values, go through the process as above, but choose the logical expression *is one of.* This will allow you to enter as many values as you want; once you've entered the desired values, click on your app, and the filter will be applied.

If you want to use multiple filters (filters that relate to different fields), you can also do that: after you've applied your first filter, click on *Add filter* at the top of the table, and apply a new filter.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.jetadmin.io/classic-app-builder/design-and-structure/components/lists/table/filter.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
