Filters and Saved Views
Last updated: April 24, 2026
Introduction
Filters and Saved Views allow you to customize how you view and track shipments, creating personalized dashboard views that focus on the information most relevant to your needs.
The Filters and Saved Views feature helps you manage large volumes of shipment data efficiently by letting you focus on specific subsets of shipments based on your monitoring priorities. Whether you're tracking high-risk shipments, managing deliveries to a specific location, or monitoring temperature-sensitive products, this feature gives you the flexibility to create tailored views of your supply chain operations.
What are Filters and Saved Views?
Filters let you narrow down the shipments displayed based on specific criteria such as status, location, timing, and more. By combining multiple filters, you can create highly targeted views of your shipment data.
Saved Views allow you to save your filter configurations for future use, making it easy to switch between different perspectives of your shipment data. Views can be shared across your organization, enabling consistent monitoring of specific shipment categories.
Default System Views
The Command Center includes several pre-configured views:
Active: Shows all currently active shipments
Completed: Shows all completed shipments

Filter Logic Options
Each filter can be applied using various logic operators:

contains/does not contain: Search within text fields
before/after/on: For date-based filters
include/exclude/include all of / include any of: For tag-based filtering
Working with Multiple Filters
Combining Filters
Filters work together using AND logic - all conditions must be met for a shipment to appear in your view.
Example Filter Combinations:
High-Risk Shipments in Transit
Primary State is "in-transit"
LiveRisk Status is "off-track" or "at-risk"
Temperature-Sensitive Deliveries to a Specific Location
The destination is [specific location]
Product is any of [temperature-sensitive products]
Impact Factors is "temperature"
Today's Expected Arrivals
Planned Arrival is "on" [today's date]
Primary State is "in-transit"
Saved Shipments
The platform also provides a "Saved Shipments" section where you can:
Bookmark specific shipments for quick access
Track up to 10 priority shipments
Access regardless of what filters are applied
Tips and Best Practices
Effective Filter Use
Start with broad filters and progressively narrow down
Name your views descriptively for easy identification
Create separate views for different aspects of your workflow
View Organization
Keep the number of views manageable (delete unused views)
Use consistent naming conventions for related views
Set your most commonly used view as the default
Performance Consideration
Very complex filters with multiple conditions may take longer to process
For faster loading, focus filters on the most essential criteria
