How to Use Quick Filters in Pronnel

Understanding Quick Filters

Quick Filters are handy pre-defined filter options in Pronnel that make filtering data a breeze. They're your secret weapon when you need to switch between different data sets quickly without the hassle of reapplying filters each time.

These Quick Filters appear in a dedicated dropdown located next to the main Filter option, making them easy to access whenever you need to switch views fast.

By default, Pronnel offers the following Quick Filters:

• Assigned To Me
• Assigned By Me
• Created By Me
• My Starred
• Trash
• Waiting/Blocked on Me
• I Am Blocked/Waiting For

These filters are designed to help you focus on what's most relevant—whether it's your own tasks, what you're waiting on, or items that need attention. Now, let’s see how you can make the most of Quick Filters to stay organized and efficient.
