# What Is the Filter Function For?

## Answer

The filter function helps you narrow down your segment list according to your preferences. For example, with just a few clicks, you can display only the segments that currently have active automations. The main benefit is that you only see the segments relevant to your current task at a glance. The filter affects only the display and does not change your segment data.

## Accessing the Function

To use the filter, first open the **Management** section. Then click on **Filter** in the top bar. A dialog window will open where you can set your desired filter criteria. Click **Apply** to confirm your selections or **Cancel** to discard changes. When a filter is active, you'll see a counter badge directly on the filter button.

## Settings & Options

In the filter dialog, you can set the **Automation status on marketplace** to either **Active** or **Inactive**. By clicking **Apply**, your selected filters will be used and the list will update accordingly. To undo changes, simply close the window with **Cancel**. Depending on your settings, you can add or remove individual filter rows using plus and minus icons, if available. Note: The **Marketplace** section lets you choose which segments your filter applies to.

## Limitations & Special Notes

- If you have a large number of segments, short loading times may occur.
- **Important:** The filter does not make any changes to segments or settings – it only impacts how the list is displayed.
