2. Select the **Advanced Filter(s)** icon.
3. Choose the filters you want to apply.
4. Select **Ok**. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/88d7ebef-752e-45d9-95e1-ee13bd7279c5/Images/Documentation/image-2FJGL08J.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T12%3A40%3A06Z&se=2026-11-01T13%3A40%3A06Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=zc7Xgsjod0NZvMkbhv5nQlOkf5V8SwMrRci4VSFK9sc%3D)

#### General Filters

The **General** section includes standard system filters. These filter options are controlled by WorkEasy Software and are not configurable by client companies.

- **Search for id or name**: Search by employee ID or employee name.
- **Employee status**: Filter by employee status, such as Active, Pending, Inactive, or Terminated.
- **Archive status**: Filter by Not archived or Archived.
- **Employee type**: Filter by employee type.
- **Time status**: Filter by Full time or Part time.

#### Groups Filters

The **Groups** section displays filters based on your company’s configured group structure. Group filters may include items such as Location, Position, Department, or other group levels configured for your organization. Because these filters are based on company configuration, the available options may vary.

#### Custom Field Filters

The **Custom fields** section displays filters based on your company’s configured employee custom fields. Because custom fields are configured by company, the available filters may vary.

#### Clear Filters

To remove selected filters, open **Advanced Filter(s)** and select **Clear**. Then select **Ok** to refresh the employee list without the previously selected filters.
