The People Log's filtering system helps you find exactly the learners you need. Whether you're tracking completion for a specific channel or identifying users who haven't finished mandatory training, filters give you the precision to get actionable insights.

The People Log offers three layers of filtering:

1. Content Type Filtering – Choose which type of content to report on

2. Specific Content Filtering – Narrow down to particular items

3. Advanced Filters – Build complex queries using user and behavioural properties

These layers work together, allowing you to create highly targeted reports.

To use People Log filters, you need one of these roles:

• Owner – Full access

• Admin – Full access

• HR – Full access

• Reporter – Full access

• Curator – Access if reporting permissions are enabled

• Manager – Limited to direct and indirect reports

From the People Log, use the content type selector to choose what you want to report on:

Click the content selector dropdown to choose specific items:

1. Click Select content (or the current content name if one is selected)

2. Search or scroll to find the content you want

3. Click to add items to your filter

4. You can select multiple items to see users assigned to any of them

💡 Tip: This is perfect for compliance tracking – select your mandatory training channel to see exactly who's completed it.

Click Filter by to open the advanced filter panel. Here you can build sophisticated queries.

1. Click Add filter

2. Choose a property from the dropdown

3. Set your operator and value

4. The results update automatically

Add more filters and choose how they combine:

• AND – Users must match all conditions

• OR – Users must match any condition

You can create filter groups for complex logic like: (Team = Sales AND Location = London) OR (Team = Marketing AND Location = Manchester)

Filter users based on their learning activity:

Time-based options for behavioural filters:

• Any time

• Before a specific date

• After a specific date

• On a specific date

• Between two dates

• Within the last X days/weeks/months

Filter by user attributes:

Any custom fields configured for your organisation also appear as filter options. These work just like standard user properties.

Find users who haven't completed mandatory training:

1. Select content type: Channels

2. Select the mandatory training channel

3. Add filter: Has not completed > [Channel name] > Any time

Check how new starters are getting on:

1. Add filter: Hire date > Within last > 30 days

2. Review completion percentages for each new user

See progress for a specific team:

1. Add filter: Team > Equals > [Team name]

2. Optionally add: Include sub-teams if you want to see the whole department

Find users who need support with a particular quiz:

1. Select content type: Quizzes

2. Select the specific quiz

3. Add filter: Quiz score > Less than > 70

Q: Can I save my filter settings?
A: Yes! Once you've configured your filters, use the Actions menu to save them as a report. See "Saving and Scheduling Reports" for details.

Q: Why don't I see certain filter options?
A: Some filters only appear when specific features are enabled for your organisation (e.g., Coach filters, Custom fields).

Q: How do I clear all filters?
A: Click the Reset button in the filter panel, or remove filters individually by clicking the X next to each one.

Q: Can I filter by multiple teams at once?
A: Yes. Add multiple Team filters with OR logic, or use the Include sub-teams option to capture an entire department.
