Advanced Filters

Filtering just got a major upgrade.

• Create complex chainable queries
• Filter on card metadata like who created a card or when
• Save and share your favorite filters

Once the filter is applied, the tree now displays the specific subset of data that matches your filter, and that’s it. No more scrolling to find the next match. See exactly what you want to see, all in one place, and explore where you want from there. Check out some of the more interesting use cases:

• Use Case 1: Customer Segmentation

Look at your tree through the eyes of a specific customer or customer segment. Filter opportunities and other cards by the customers that provide insights into their specific pain points or needs.

• Use Case 2: What’s new?

Over time, your workspace will grow. Keeping up on what’s new or changed just got a whole lot easier.

• Use Case 3: Show me my work

Save time finding your work, whether that’s discovery, delivery, or experimentation work.

​

Navigation Improvements
