# Inline Filter

Enter text into the search box underneath the column header you wish to filter. This will instantly filter inline and can be done on multiple columns simultaneously and offer your dashboard users the most flexible way of filtering their rows based on column values.

### Configuration

To enable Inline Filtering, Follow these steps:

1. Open the **configure screen** within the extension.
2. Under the **Data** tab click on the **dimension(s)** you wish to have an inline filter.
3. Halfway down you will see ‘**filter style**’, click on ‘**Wildcard Match**’ to have the inline filter activated on your table.&#x20;
4. **Alternatively**, within the configure screen under the **Appearance** tab under the **Layout Options** header, you can tick the ‘**Enable quick filters**’ which will give every column an inline filter.

### Limitation

The inline filter can not be used if advanced filter is being used.
