Filter and sort actions
Learn how to filter and sort your actions list via both the web app and the mobile app.
As you report and assign more actions, your list can become harder to manage. Filtering and sorting options can help you narrow down the list and access the actions you need to view and update or export to CSV easily!
What you'll need

Filtering and sorting options between the web app and the mobile app are slightly different.
