SharePoint CRM list views not filtering contacts correctly
A filter isn't working because it hasn't saved, the view needs to refresh, or the column data doesn't match what the filter is looking for. First, refresh the page with F5 or by clicking the refresh button. If that doesn't work, clear your browser cache or try a different browser to make sure it's not a display problem.
Filters in SharePoint CRM lists tell the view to hide certain rows and show only the ones you want to see. When a filter stops working, the page needs to reload, the filter didn't save properly, or there's a browser cache issue that's showing old data. We'll walk you through refreshing the view, clearing the cache, and checking if the filter is actually applied.
- ✓Have the CRM list open in SharePoint so you can test the filter
- ✓Know what you're trying to filter for - keep an example value ready to test
- ✓Stay near your computer so you can test the filter after each step
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step, just tap, no typing needed.
Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Clicking a filter once and assuming it's active. Check for the blue dot or highlight to make sure it actually saved
- Assuming a filter is broken when actually you're just looking at a different view. Filters are saved per view
- Not refreshing the page after applying a filter. The page needs to reload to show the filtered data
