Filters, sorting and searching Materials
The Materials page allows you to quickly find the items you need using interactive filters, sorting, and search. All changes are applied instantly, so the table updates automatically based on the selected parameters.
This guide explains how to work with search, sorting, filters, and infinite scroll on the Materials page.
General Rules and Information
Filters, sorting, and searching are available in the Materials table.
The table updates interactively when you apply filters, sorting, or search queries.
The page uses infinite scroll.
Sorting is enabled for all columns.
Default sorting:
Material name → A to Z
Status → A to Z
You can sort by:
clicking the column header
selecting sorting options in the More actions menu (⋯)
Search is enabled only for columns that have input field under the title of the column.
If a column has no search field, it cannot be searched directly.
Columns with active sorting or filtering are visually marked with ascending/descending arrows or dot in the right corner of filter vector.
“Columns” sidebar shows markers for columns where filters or search are applied, including for collapsed groups.
Searching 🔎
Searching is available only for columns where the search field is enabled.
How to use search
Open the Materials page.
Find a column that supports search (a search input is visible under the title of column).
Enter your search query in the search field.
The system updates the table and displays only the rows that match your query.
To clear the search value, click Clear filters - this resets the search input and restores the full list of materials.
