Understanding AND/OR Filters in Stack

Filtering your contacts effectively is crucial for managing and visualizing your data in Stack. This guide will walk you through the different configurations available for contact filtering, helping you create the precise views you need.

Types of Filter Configurations

AND Condition

The AND condition requires that all specified criteria are met for a contact to appear in the filtered list. This is useful when you need contacts that meet multiple specific requirements.

Example: You might want to filter contacts who have a specific tag and also possess both an email address AND a phone number.

OR Condition

The OR condition is more flexible, requiring that at least one of the specified criteria is met. This is ideal for broader searches where any one of several conditions is sufficient.

Example: You could filter contacts who have either an email OR a phone number OR a specific tag.

Combining AND and OR Conditions

For more advanced filtering, you can combine groups of AND conditions with OR conditions. This allows for complex queries that can accommodate a variety of specific needs.

Example: You might look for contacts who have both an email AND a phone number OR just an address.

Additional Notes

While using these filters, it's important to note that not all internal operators (such as IS, IS NOT, IS EMPTY, IS NOT EMPTY, CONTAINS, DOES NOT CONTAIN, etc.) are available for every filter field. Keep this in mind as you set up your filters to ensure you achieve the desired results.
