How Do I Filter HubSpot Contacts and Companies?
HubSpot provides some great filtering options as well as the ability to save commonly used filters as Views.
Using Standard Filters
In both Contacts and Companies Hubs, we have the same common filters available.
The "All contacts" view is the standard view that show all Contacts you have access to.
Select Contact owner to filter by the Contact Owner
NOTE: We recommend that you pin the Standard View "My contacts" for easy reference. See below.
You can also use the standard filters for Create date, Last activity date and Lead status.
More Filters
If you need to apply more filtering, use the "More filters" and you can slice and dice the list any way you want! You can choose any Contact property you want.
Here are a few helpful properties you might want to include in filters.
- Metro-Contact
- Client Relations Rep Full Name
- Client Relations Rep Email
- Recruiting Rep Full Name
- Recruiting Rep Email
- Regional Leader Rep Full Name
- Regional Leader Rep Email
- Customer Status
NOTE: If you create a Filtered list of Contacts that you really like, make sure you Save it as a View!
Create a saved view
- In your HubSpot account, navigate to your contacts, companies, deals, or tickets.
- For your deals or tickets home, ensure you're in the table format. If you're in the board format, click the listView table icon in the upper left.
- Next to the existing tabs, click Add view. In the dropdown menu, click Create new view.
- In the dialog box, enter a name for your view and select the users to share the view with. Once you finish setting up the view, click Save. You'll be brought to the new view.
- The newly created view will have the criteria you've selected earlier. You can continue to set new criteria for your new view:
- Click the default property dropdown menus above the table and select the values that you want to filter the records by.
- For other properties, click More filters and in the right panel, search for and select the property, then specify the criteria. Learn how to set up your filter.
- To ensure the filters are saved, in the upper right, click Save view and select Save. You can select Reset instead if you want the view to return to its original saved version, removing any filters you've applied to it.
If you've already filtered the contacts in the All [objects] tab, you can save it as a new view as well by clicking Save view in the upper right and selecting Save as new. In the dialog box, enter the name of the view, customize the users you will share the view with, and click Save.
