How to Create and Save Custom Filters in REsimpli

Written by Anthony Estrada

Overview

A filter narrows a long list down to just the records you care about. You can save a filter so you can reuse it later with one click, instead of setting it up again.

Filters work the same way across REsimpli. You can use them on your leads, your list stacking records, and your contacts, including agents, buyers, sellers, vendors, and companies.

Steps

Step 1: Open your list

Go to the list you want to filter. The video uses the Leads pipeline.


Step 2: Start a new filter

Click Add a Filter.


Step 3: Choose what to filter by

Under Group 1, add the things you want to filter on. You can search for them, or scroll down the list to find them.

The video builds a filter for leads created this week that have a property address:

  • Property Address is set to Is Available

  • Lead Created Date is set to This Week

Add as many conditions as you need, then click Continue.


Step 4: Decide whether to save it

You now have two choices:

  • Apply without saving — use the filter once. It disappears when you clear it.

  • Save as a template — keep the filter so you can use it again later.


Using a Filter Without Saving It

Step 5: Apply your filter

Choose to apply the filter without saving.

Your results appear as a list, and you will see Filter Applied in the top-left corner.


Step 6: Change your filter

If your results are not what you expected, click the words Filter Applied.

You can then change your conditions. For example, the video changes This Week to This Month because no leads were created that week.

Click Continue when you are done.


Saving a Filter as a Template

Step 7: Name and describe your filter

  1. Enter a filter name. The video uses This Month's Leads.

  2. Enter a description.

You need both. The filter will not save without a name and a description.


Step 8: Choose who can use it

Look at the Access and Save Location section.

  • To share the filter with your team, click Manage and give them access.

  • To keep it for yourself, leave it as it is.

If you already have folders, you can also choose which folder to save it in.


Step 9: Save

Click Save and Apply.

Your filter name will now appear at the top, and your matching records will be listed below.


Using Your Saved Filters

Step 10: Apply a saved filter

Click the name of any saved filter template. It will be applied straight away.


Step 11: Clear a filter

Click the small X button next to the filter name.

Your full list will come back.


Step 12: Manage a saved filter

Click the three dots next to a saved filter. You can:

  • Run the filter

  • View the filter

  • Duplicate the filter

  • Edit the filter

  • Delete the filter


Step 13: Organize filters into folders

  1. Click Manage Filter in the upper-right corner.

  2. Create a folder.

  3. Select the folder you want your filter to go in.

  4. Click Move Filters.

Your filter now sits inside that folder. Click its name any time to apply it.


Important Notes

  • Filters work the same way everywhere in REsimpli: leads, list stacking, and contacts such as agents, buyers, sellers, vendors, and companies.

  • A filter needs both a name and a description before it can be saved.

  • Applying a filter without saving is fine for a one-off. Save it as a template if you will need it again.

  • Filters can be personal or shared. Use Manage under Access and Save Location to give your team access.

  • Clearing a filter with the X does not delete it. Your saved template stays where it is.

  • Empty results usually mean your conditions are too narrow, not that something is broken.


Troubleshooting

Your filter returns no records

  • Your conditions may be too narrow. Click Filter Applied and adjust them. For example, widen a date range from this week to this month.

Your filter will not save

  • You may be missing the description. Both a name and a description are required.

Your team cannot see your filter

  • It may be saved as a personal filter. Open the filter and use Manage under Access and Save Location to share it.

You cannot find a saved filter

  • It may be inside a folder. Check your folders, or use Manage Filter in the upper-right corner.

You want your full list back

  • Click the small X next to the filter name. This clears the filter without deleting it.


Summary

You created a custom filter. You opened your list, clicked Add a Filter, and chose your conditions. You applied it without saving to check the results, adjusted the conditions, then saved it as a template with a name, a description, and access settings. You can now apply it with one click, manage it from the three dots menu, and keep it tidy inside a folder.
