# Setting a Default Filter

## Understanding Default Filters

---

A **Default Filter** is a saved set of filter criteria that a user defines as a personal preference, and will be automatically applied when opening a specific module view. It ensures users see the most relevant data by default and can be tailored to match the purpose or context of each view.

To associate a **Default Filter** with a module view, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the **Module** and open the desired **Module View**.
2. Expand the list of **Saved Filters**.
3. Click the **actions menu** next to the filter you want to set as default.
4. Select **Make default for this view** to ensure the selected filter is automatically applied each time you open that specific module view.

> [!WARNING]
> **Note:** Returning to the same actions menu will allow you to **Remove default** **from this view**. Additionally, selecting a different filter will give you the option to quickly **mark another saved filter as default**.

Known behaviour:

- A view can only be associated with a single saved filter per user
- All saved filters can be marked as default except if you have previously archived the filter
