# Form filters

**Overview**

You can sort through your submission data by creating filters. These filters allow you to narrow down your results to precise parameters. You can filter by time, form, or even field data.

**How to Create a Form Filter**

To create a filter, select the **Filters** button:

You can filter by the **time** constraints provided or add a custom time period of your choice.

To filter by **form**, select the drop-down list of forms to filter from.

Additionally, filter by the information that is in the form by using **field data** filters. Choose field inputs and add another layer of granularity to your sorting process. ![Field data filter options](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/Screen_Shot_2020-07-16_at_11.26.37_PM.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-30T06%3A03%3A04Z&se=2026-10-30T07%3A03%3A04Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=wS2jSB02ifwFNCziDlA%2F%2BoL2MSqzWdTAzzQ9uxWg2hw%3D)

After you have configured your custom filter, you can **save** this filter and any others for later use.

Once you have created your custom filter, you can save it as a preset for later use. In the filter window, select the **Saved** tab.

Next, select the **Save a new filter set** button.

You will then be prompted to **name** and **confirm** the filter set to be saved for future use.

To delete a custom saved filter, select the **Saved** tab, find your filter, and select **Delete**.
