Filtering controls

Filtering controls allows you to display only the controls you need. Control filtering works in both Card view and Grid view.

Note: Custom fields are considered "non-public" and aren't filterable unless the user is a member of the control. Thus, the user searching by a custom field must be a member of the control for the filter to retrieve it.

Tip: Currently, Hyperproof does not support a "save filter" option. However, the filter retains the last configuration until it is manually changed.

  1. Click the Filter icon.

    The Filter window opens.

  2. Using the drop-down menus, enter one or more of the following criteria:

    • Name, ID, and Description - Enter a complete or partial control name, ID, or description.

      Note: When filtering by words, Hyperproof retrieves any word that contains those letters. To avoid incorrect results, Hyperproof recommends adding a space at the end of the search word.
      ​

      For example, if you search for the word "edge", you'll see results that contain words like "wedge". To avoid those incorrect results, enter edge_ in the search field (where the '_' is replaced by a space). Note that Hyperproof does not support the use of quotes in the search field.

    • Owner - Select a team member to view the controls they own.

    • People - Select a team member to view the controls they are a member of.

    • Groups - Select a group to view the controls they own.

    • Domain - Enter a complete or partial domain name, or select a domain from the list.

    • Program - Enter a complete or partial program name, or select a program from the list.

    • Health - Select a health status from the list.

    • Implementation - Select a status from the list.

    • Testing status - Select a status from the list.

    • Freshness - Select a status from the list.

    • Automation - Select a status from the list.

    • Scope - Enter a name, or select a scope from the list. The list included child scopes.

    • Custom fields - Select one or more of your organization’s custom fields.

Tip: Multiple selections within the same filter limit results to objects that meet either selection. For example, selecting both Person A and Person B in the By assignee filter shows only objects assigned to either Person A or Person B.
​

Selections across filters limit the results to objects that meet both filters. For example, selecting Person A from the By assignee filter and Issue from the By type filter shows only issues assigned to Person A.
​

Additional example: In the By assignee filter, both Person A and Person B are selected. In the By type filter, both Issue and Task are selected. Hyperproof creates a list of objects that are assigned to either Person A or Person B, and a separate list of objects that are either issues or tasks. It shows the objects that are in both lists.
