Follow these steps to narrow the Units list using the search bar's filter chips.

  1. Go to Units and click into the search bar above the unit cards.
  2. Type a plain word to search as before, or start typing a filter name, like balance, to jump straight into that filter's values.
  3. Choose a value. It appears as a colored chip in the bar, for example "Balance state: Overdue". The chip takes the color of its group, so money and accounting filters read green, residents blue, registrations violet, activity amber, and unit details teal.
  4. Add as many chips as you need. They all narrow the list together, along with any plain text you typed.
  5. For a date filter, either type an exact date or pick one of the quick presets: Today, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, Last 90 days, This month or Last month.
  6. Watch the count above the list, it updates as soon as a chip is added or removed, so you always know how many units match.
  7. To remove one filter, click the small × on its chip. To clear every filter and the typed text at once, click the × at the end of the bar.

Applied filter chips and the result count, above the unit cards.

Unit status: Rented  × Balance state: Overdue  × Open service ticket: Yes  ×
2 of 6 units match

Two shortcuts. Type # and the bar goes straight to unit numbers. Type @ and it goes straight to people, which is the quickest way to find a unit when you only know who lives in it.

Everything above works the same on a phone. Open Units in the mobile view and the bar, the filters and the chips are the same.
