# Filtering the task list and case list
In the Eximee Dashboard, on the task list and the case list, it is possible to filter data.
## Basic filtering
The filtering mechanism for the task list and the case list allows tasks to be searched by a process variable **SEARCH\_STRING**. Multiple fields can be passed to the variable combined into a single string (e.g. separated by commas), which allows searching for data by a fragment of a value. The filter works based on the operator `LIKE` known from SQL.
The value of the variable **SEARCH\_STRING** should contain all data by which the user should be able to search.
Example script setting the value for the variable **SEARCH\_STRING**:
```js
def submittedLeads = execution.getVariable("submittedLeads")
def rejectedLeads = execution.getVariable("rejectedLeads")
def businessKey = execution.getVariable("start.formInstanceNumber")
def lead = execution.getVariable("Lead")
def cif = execution.getVariable("CIF_Klienta")
def time = execution.getVariable("Czas_lokalny")
def modSkp = execution.getVariable("SKP_Wypełniającego")
def skp = execution.getVariable("SKP_doradcy_portfelowego")
def branchSkp = execution.getVariable("Oddział_zgłaszającego")
def dashboardParams = [
"Application number" : businessKey,
"Selected leads" : lead,
"Customer CIF" : cif,
"Application submission time" : time,
"Completing SKP" : modSkp,
"Portfolio advisor SKP" : skp,
"Branch SKP" : branchSkp,
"Submitted leads" : submittedLeads,
"Rejected leads" : rejectedLeads
]
searchString = businessKey + "," +
cif + "," +
time + "," +
modSkp + "," +
kp + "," +
branchSkp
execution.setVariable("PROCESS_DASHBOARD_DESCRIPTION", "Lead process")
execution.setVariable("PROCESS_DASHBOARD", dashboardParams)
execution.setVariable("SEARCH_STRING", searchString)
```
In the above example, searching will be possible, among others, by:
* application number,
* customer CIF,
* submission time,
* SKP identifiers.
The basic search filter is located in the upper left corner (the field with a "magnifying glass"). Example of filtering the case list by branch SKP number:

For the filter to work correctly, the variable **SEARCH\_STRING** must be added to the process variables.
Filters are saved in the URL address, which makes it possible to share a link with set filters with other users and to change filters from the URL level.
## Advanced filtering
The advanced filtering functionality is marked with the symbol: 
### Task list
Available filtering parameters:
* **Case status**
* Filtering by the businessStatus variable.
* Multiple-choice field.
* The list of available values is controlled by the variable **FILTER\_TASK\_STATUSES**.
* **Person assigned to the task**
Available options:
* all tasks,
* only my tasks,
* only unassigned tasks,
* tasks of selected users (search after minimum 3 characters, possibility to select multiple users).
* **Task creation date**
* Ability to define a date range (from – to).
* **Case type**
* Filtering by the variable **processDefinitionKey**.
* Multiple-choice field.
* The list of values is controlled by the variable **FILTER\_PROCESS\_TYPES**.
* **Case ID**
* Filtering by the businessKey variable.
* Searching works on the principle of the operator `LIKE`.
