Add Filters to a Related List

The available filters present on the Related List are from the columns of a Related List.

To add columns to a Related List to be used as quick filter options later, perform the following:

1) Open the Page Layout of the source object's record in Object Manager and select Related Lists. For example: if you want to update the filter options on the Contacts member's related list that has been opened from the Account member record, open the page layout of the Account object's record.

 


2) Choose a related list on which you want to add or modify filters and click on the wrench icon to open the Related List Properties menu.

 
  
  
3) Select any fields to be added or removed in the Related List Properties menu. The fields display on the related list and be available as a quick filter.

4) Click ok and select Save, to save your page layout. 

5) Now when you open the Related List and click on the Filter icon, the Filters section shows all the columns just added as options available to filter. The filter is a Quick Filter option when viewing a Related List for the current session.
