# Filtering You may not want to show all items in the gantt chart, and there are several ways to add filtering. These options are configured under **Settings > Filtering**. ### Static filtering on a single field To add a permanent (static) filter on a single field, select **Field to filter** and then select the value:

The gantt chart will then only display items matching this value. ### Static filtering on a view If you prefer to configure a more complex filter, such as using a combination of fields, "not", or "or" filters, you must configure a view on the list. You can then select the view under "**Default view for data filtering**":

To add to the available views, navigate to your list, modify your filters as appropriate by clicking on columns and selecting "**Filter by**":

Then select the relevant values and click **Apply**:

Save your new view by clicking **Save view as**:

This will now appear as an options in your Gantt configuration:

When saved, the chart will now only show items from this view. ### Dynamic filtering using multiple views To give your users the option to select a view, you can create as many views as you wish and select them under "**End-user selectable views**":

These will now appear as a drop-down in the chart:

### Dynamic filtering using fields You can give your users the option to filter on any number of fields. To do this, select the fields under "**End-user filterable fields**":

These fields will now appear as a drop-down in the chart:

The '**Load ancestors on filtering**' option, if selected, will mean that for any matching tasks, their parent tasks/projects will also be shown.
