Searching and filtering

Find specific orders, attendees, contacts, or events in a list — search by name, email, or number, or narrow results with the Filter menu.

Every list view — orders, attendees, contacts, events, and more — has a search bar for quick lookups and a Filter menu for narrowing results by specific criteria. The two work together, and you can combine them.

Search a list

  1. Open a list view, such as Orders, Attendees, or Contacts.
  2. Type your query into the search bar at the top of the list.
  3. Press Return, or click the search icon.

The list updates to matching records. The search bar’s placeholder text names the fields that view searches — for example, Orders searches by name, email, or order number, while Attendees searches by name, email, phone, barcode, and custom fields. Each view searches a different set of fields, so check the placeholder if a search returns nothing.

Filter a list

Use the Filter menu when you need more precision than a text search — for example, orders within a date range, or attendees for a specific event.

  1. On a list view, click Filter.
  2. Set the criteria you want. The available filters are specific to each view, so Orders and Attendees offer different options.
  3. Apply the filter.

The list narrows to records matching every criterion you set. To start over, click Clear.

FAQ

Each list searches a different set of fields. Check the placeholder text inside the search bar — it lists the fields that view searches. If the value you’re looking for isn’t one of those fields, use the Filter menu instead.

Do the search and filters affect what I export?

Yes. An export reflects your current search, filters, and visible columns. See Exporting data.

Why are the filter options different on each list?

Filters are specific to the records in each view. Orders can be filtered by payment status or event; attendees by event or check-in details. The options reflect what’s relevant to that record type.
