Filtering Activities
Activity Type Filters
The calendar toolbar displays colored buttons for each activity type:
- Click All to show all activity types.
- Click a specific type button (e.g., "Call", "Meeting", "Tour") to show only that type.
- Click multiple type buttons to show a combination of types.
- Active filters are highlighted with the activity type's color.
Status Filters
Use the status badge selector in the toolbar to filter by activity status:
- Scheduled -- Show upcoming activities.
- Completed -- Show activities marked as done.
- Overdue -- Show activities past their due date.
You can select multiple statuses simultaneously.
Owner Filter
Use the Owner dropdown to show activities assigned to a specific staff member:
- Click the Owner dropdown in the toolbar.
- Select a staff member's name.
- The calendar shows only activities assigned to that person.
- Select the placeholder option to show all owners again.
TIP
Use the owner filter to view your own activities or to check a colleague's schedule when coordinating meetings or handoffs.
Combining Filters
All filters work together. For example, you can:
- Show only Calls that are Overdue and assigned to Jane Smith.
- Show all Meetings and Campus Tours for the current week.
- Show only Completed activities of any type for the whole team.

Export with Filters
When you export calendar data via the Export > Excel button, the exported file respects all active filters:

- Only activities within the current date range are included.
- Only activities matching the selected owner are included.
This lets you create targeted exports like "All campus tours for April" or "All overdue follow-ups assigned to me".
