Notion makes it easy to filter your database so it only displays the items that meet specified criteria, i.e. have (or don't have) certain properties. These filters can be as simple or complex as you like!
To filter the entries you see in a database view:
Filter
at the top right of your database.Filter
and then + Add filter
in the filter & sort menu. You can have as many filters as you'd like!<aside>
🗒️ Note: In a shared database, any changes you make to filters and sorts in views won’t affect other people on the team until you click Save for everyone
.

You can create more specific database views and combine AND
and OR
logic by using filter groups. These can be nested up to three layers deep! Here's how:
Filter
at the top right of your database, or + Add filter
in the filter & sort menuAdd an advanced filter
.AND
and OR
logic of the advanced filter.AND
and OR
logic.<aside>
💡 Tip: You can quickly turn a filter into a filter group by clicking the ••• to the right of the filter, and selecting Add to advanced filter
.
