Using Filters and Columns to Customise Your Overview
Filters and columns help you customise your overview pages (such as Organisations, Requirements, Documents, etc.) so you can quickly find the information you need.
Using Filters
Filters consist of three components:
- Column – The category you want to filter on (e.g. Country, Status, Type).
- Operator – How the filter should behave (e.g. contains, equals, excludes).
- Value – The specific value within the column you want to filter by.
Example
- Column: Country
- Operator: Contains
- Value: Spain
Result: The system will only show organisations located in Spain.
You can add multiple filters to refine your search further. To remove all active filters at once, click CLEAR ALL FILTERS.
Special Columns Explained
Some columns may need additional clarification:
Water Risk (WRF)
WRF stands for Water Risk Filter, a tool developed by WWF (World Wildlife Fund). It helps assess water-related risks in specific regions and is used for sustainability and compliance insights.
Types
This column allows you to filter by organisation type, such as:
Raw material supplier, production location, processor, importer, exporter, broker, trader, retailer, warehouse, laboratory, producer group, cooperative, transport, packaging supplier, and more.
Products
The Products column shows which products are linked to an organisation.
- Portfolio appears when a product is added to your Product Portfolio.
- PPM stands for Plant Propagation Material. This comes directly from the GLOBALG.A.P. product list and distinguishes between regular products and propagation materials.
Country Groups
Country groups allow you to filter based on predefined country classifications (for example, risk-based groupings). These classifications are updated regularly.
Using Columns
Columns allow you to control which information is visible in your table view.
You can:
- Show or hide specific columns
- Rearrange your overview for better clarity
- Focus only on the data relevant to your workflow
Important
We recommend keeping the checkbox selection column enabled. This allows you to perform bulk actions.
Bulk Actions
By selecting one or more items using the checkbox column, you can perform actions such as:
- Send manual requests
- Add or remove products
- Add or remove tags
- Archive or unarchive organisations
- Block or unblock organisations
Some actions may be unavailable depending on the status of the selected items. For example:
- You cannot send a request if no contact email is available.
- You cannot unarchive an organisation that is not archived.
To cancel your selection and exit bulk mode, click CLEAR ALL.
Using filters and columns effectively helps you maintain a clean overview and work more efficiently within the platform.
