Filter Strategy for Common Tasks

Best Practices

Start Broad, Then Narrow

• Begin with essential filters (term, high school)
• Add specific filters as needed
• Remove filters that aren't helping narrow results

Regular Tasks

• Learn which filter combinations work best
• Use consistent filter patterns for recurring tasks
• Adjust combinations based on results

Troubleshooting

• Remove filters one at a time if results seem wrong
• Verify filter selections match expected outcomes
• Remember that filters are additive (all conditions must match)

• Break task into smaller, filtered segments

Missing Expected Results

• Review all active filters
• Check term settings (hidden vs. visible terms)
• Verify high school group selections

Tips for Efficiency

• Clear all filters to start fresh
• Use high school groups for related schools
• Combine with batch processing when possible
