Organising Filters with Custom Groups

Organising your Saved Filters


In Encodify, saved filters can be organised into logical groups, making it easier to manage, access, and apply them based on your workflow. Both admin and non-admin users can group filters to suit their individual or team needs—whether that’s highlighting frequently used filters, structuring them by purpose, or decluttering the panel by archiving unused ones.

Saved filters are categorised into the following groups:

  • Favourite Filters – For quick access to frequently used filters

  • Custom Groups – User-defined categories for organising filters by purpose or context

  • Filters (Default) – The default group where newly created filters are placed

  • Archived Filters – A hidden group for filters no longer in active use

Default Filter Group


After saving a filter, it will automatically be assigned to the default group labelled Filters.
