Filtering, Searching, and Sorting Accounts#

Filtering, Searching, and Sorting Accounts is a set of tools in the action panel above the table that allows you to quickly narrow down the list of accounts by text query, filter conditions, or sorting order. The tools work independently and can be applied simultaneously to accurately select the necessary records.

Location: access the tools through the action panel above the accounts table in the "Accounts" section.

Available actions:

  • find accounts by text query in the "Search" field
  • apply quick filters through the Filters button
  • build complex selection conditions through the Conditions button
  • sort the table by columns with sorting indicator
  • reset search, filters, and conditions to return to the full list


"Search..." Field#

The "Search..." field is designed for quickly finding accounts in the table by a text query. After placing the cursor in the field, simply start typing characters — the table updates in real-time and displays only the rows that match the query. Search supports matching by account name, tag, group, and account type.

The system supports multi-search: you can paste a copied column of values (e.g., from Google Sheets). The data will automatically be separated by spaces, and the table will show all accounts that match this list.

How to search:

  1. Click on the Search... field in the action panel above the table.
  2. Enter text or paste a list of values — the table will immediately filter rows by match.
  3. To return to the full list, clear the field — delete the entered text.

After clearing the field, the table returns to the full list of accounts without any additional confirmations.

Search does not create separate filtering rules and does not require pressing a confirmation button. It acts as a quick filter within the current table display.


"Filters" Button#

The "Filters" button opens a menu of quick checkbox filters and displays the number of active conditions as a counter on the button itself. Each checkbox in the menu corresponds to one account selection condition and can be toggled independently of others.

How to apply a quick filter:

  1. Click Filters in the action panel above the table.
  2. In the opened menu, set one or more checkboxes:
    • Show only new accounts
    • Show only open
    • Show only accounts without proxies
  3. The table will immediately update according to the selected conditions.

The counter on the Filters button increases by one for each active checkbox. To cancel a filter, uncheck the corresponding checkbox — the table will return to the previous state.


"Conditions" Button#

The "Conditions" button opens the "Filter" window, where selection conditions are formed as rules with three parts: field → operator → value. This allows you to build precise queries by any account attribute and combine multiple conditions simultaneously.

How to set filtering conditions:

  1. Click Conditions in the action panel above the table — the "Filter" window will open.
  2. In the dropdown list "Choose a field", select the attribute for filtering: "Name", "Note", "Last Launch", "Account Groups", "Proxies", "Tags", etc.
  3. In the dropdown list "Choose an operator", select a condition: "Contains", "Equals", "Starts with", "Ends with", etc.
  4. Fill in the "Value" field — enter text or select a value from the list depending on the field type.
  5. If needed, click Add Filter to add another condition.
  6. Click Find — the table will update according to the specified criteria.

To remove a specific condition, click the trash icon next to the respective row. To clear all conditions at once, click Reset.


Columns Window#

The Columns window opens after clicking the Columns button on the action panel and allows you to manage the composition and order of displayed table columns. The window contains a list of column names with checkboxes for toggling visibility and drag icons for changing the column order.

How to configure columns:

  1. Click Columns on the action panel — the Columns window will open.
  2. Check or uncheck the checkbox next to the column name to show or hide it.
  3. Drag an item in the list by the icon to change the order of columns in the table.
  4. Click Save — the table will rebuild according to the selected configuration.

After saving, the Columns button displays a counter with the number of enabled columns. To cancel changes without saving, click Cancel.
