# Filtering in dashboard lists

Filtering helps you quickly find relevant items in your **Journey Map, Portfolio, Metric and Persona lists**. You can filter by multiple criteria, such as creator, tags, or last updated date, to refine your search.

### **How Filtering Works**

* Different filter criteria (e.g., creator, tags, status) always combine with AND.
* Within the same filter criterion (e.g., multiple tags), you can choose between AND and OR operators.

#### **Example: Filtering by tags**

Let’s say you want to filter journey maps by the tags **“current-state”** and **“Level 0”**:

* **Using OR** – Shows maps that have **either** "current-state" **or** "Level 0."
* **Using AND** – Shows only maps that have **both** "current-state" **and** "Level 0."
