Sort and Filter by Column
You can also customize the Cases screen by sorting and filtering by specific columns.

NOTE: You can apply multiple filters at a time, but you can only sort by one column at a time.

To filter your list by a column:
- Click the funnel icon next to the column heading.
- Check the boxes next to the values you want to keep, and uncheck those you don’t want to keep.

When you have a filter applied, the filter icon for that column appears yellow.
