### **What Changed (and Why It Matters)**

Finding the right people in your database should be quick, especially when you’re following up, prospecting, or preparing for appointments.

Previously, filtering contacts required multiple steps:

* Open the Filter dropdown
* Choose a filter
* Select the criteria

Now, **your most commonly used filters are available instantly at the top of your contacts list**, saving time and keeping your workflow moving.

#### 1. All Contacts&#x20;

**What it does:** Shows your entire contact database.\
**Why it matters:** Use this as your starting point when you want a full view of your sphere, database size, or total contacts.

#### **2. Leads**

**What it does:** Filters your list to show only lead contacts.\
**Why it matters:** Perfect for daily follow-up, pipeline review, and staying focused on active opportunities.

#### 3. Tags

**What it does:** Filters contacts by one or more tags (Buyer, Seller, Open House, Past Client, Newsletter, and more).\
**Why it matters:** Tags power your segmentation. Faster access means quicker outreach and more targeted communication.

#### **4. Parked Contacts**

**What it does:** Shows contacts that are temporarily set aside from your active workflow.\
**Why it matters:** Keeps your main contact list clean while still giving you quick access to contacts you may want to revisit later.

#### **5. Assignee**

**What it does:** Filters contacts by who they’re assigned to.\
**Why it matters:** Ideal for teams and shared lead management so you always know who owns the next follow-up.

#### **6. Flow**

**What it does:** Filters contacts based on what Flow they’re enrolled into (automation).\
**Why it matters:** Quickly see who’s being nurtured automatically and who may need manual follow-up or a new flow.

#### **7. More**

**What it does:**\
Gives you access to additional, less frequently used filters, including:

* Open House
* Birthday
* Child Birthday
* Home Anniversary
* Wedding Anniversary
* Work Anniversary
* Origin
* Title

**Why it matters:**\
These filters are perfect for more intentional outreach like anniversary check-ins, birthday touches, open house follow-up, or refining your database by where contacts came from. Keeping them under **More** keeps your main view clean while still giving you powerful options when you need them.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.rechat.com/whats-new/faster-contact-filtering.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
