Why WordPress Data Filtering is Important

Initial reports and search query results from database tools often result in very large and complex data sets. These can be overwhelming for the average, uninitiated user. Unrefined data are also many times redundant, confusing and disorient from the main purpose.

WordPress has filter features in abundance and they are important for this very reason. You get to filter your raw, unpurified data in several different ways using hacks like taxonomies, labels, and search. Moreover, advanced options like those of WP ERP’s let you device different strategies and solutions to filter the unworked data into simply what you need. So you can temporarily strain out repetitive and irrelevant data.

Use these filters to perfect your enterprise reports, customer lists, emails, query results, contact groups, employees and companies. We will use the example of WP ERP’s CRM module and its advanced contact and data filtering feature.

WP ERP’s Robust Search Segment Feature for CRM

The Search Segment is one of the most robust features of WP ERP CRM. Using this feature you can instantly filter your thousands of contacts in ways that you like.

The search segment feature is very much alike to conditional logic wherein you can set And and Or parameters. The data will temporarily hide any content that doesn’t match your set criteria. So you can identify and display your contacts the way you prefer.

Both Contacts and Companies dashboard of WP ERP CRM have the search segment feature.

Data Filtering

You can add multiple sets of filters with multiple conditions within a single segment and also save them.

Both the Contacts and Companies search segment feature work in the same way with the use of drop-downs.

You can also save your search including the filtered results as a Contact Group in both dashboards.

Parameters, Conditions & Drop-downs of CRM Search

Each parameter contains 3 conditions to define one search. And it all consists of drop-downs so you can easily scroll and choose your conditions without having to type everything out manually.

These drop-downs are connected with all sorts of taxonomies [such as categories and tags] throughout your CRM. They also work dynamically so that when you save a new tag, contact group or contact source, it will show up automatically in your drop-downs.

The second and third drop-downs are connected to the first drop-down so that when you select Contact Source at first, the second and third conditions will display their options according to what is appropriate for Contact Group.

The first drop-down is usually the parent category:

The second drop-down is the state of the condition that will apply to the parameter, such as, in group, not in group, is, is not, from, has, has not, contains, not contains, begins with, ends with, greater than, less than, between, and more:

The third drop-down lists all the options relating to the parent category, and therefore, is dependent on the first condition. So it always changes according to the selection in the first drop-down:
