Filtering Tasks

Filter a task list so users see only the submissions that need their attention.

Create or edit a task list and select Filter the form's submissions. You can combine any of these filters:

Filter

How it works

Example

Field value

Choose a form field and the value to match. Works best with fields that have fixed choices, such as a Select or Radio.

Show expenses where Status is "Pending Approval"

Logged-in user (Filter by Approver)

Choose a form field that holds a user's name. The list shows only submissions where that field matches the person viewing the list.

Show each manager only the expense reports assigned to them

Date range (Filter by Dates)

Choose a date field and a number of days. The list shows submissions with a date in that range.

Show submissions from the last 7 days

For approver and date filters, the form must store the value in a field, which can be hidden. For example, a hidden field filled in by the user's choice of manager, or by form logic.
