Filter

Utilizing the Filter feature in the Spendflo App is a straightforward process, similar to using the search command. Follow these steps to filter values in any table:

1. Click on the Filter button located at the top of the table.

2. After clicking the filter button, select the "Add Filter" option.

3. A drop-down menu will appear, allowing you to choose the filterable values. Select the specific value that you wish to filter.

Example of Search and Filter

For instance, if you are searching for a particular vendor contract, you can enter the Vendor's name in the search bar at the Vendor Management page to quickly locate their information. Additionally, you can apply filters to refine further the results, such as filtering by start date, end date, cost, or any other relevant criteria. This combined use of search and filters allows for efficient data exploration and retrieval within the Spendflo App.
