# Filtering Features

Filters can be applied to display only the layer features whose attributes match certain criteria.

Your organization’s administrators have configured filters to allow you to quickly display specific features of interest.

If a filter is applied to a layer by default, the Filter icon <img src="/files/Ye08LCNUq2mYQR7JR4sI" alt="" data-size="line"> is displayed.

## Managing Filters

1. Click the Filter icon <img src="/files/Ye08LCNUq2mYQR7JR4sI" alt="" data-size="line"> (if a filter is active) or click the menu, then select **Filter Features on the Map** to open the FILTER(S) panel. The available filters are displayed.
2. Use the toggle **switch** to enable or disable each filter. The map displays the results in real time. Filters are applied in the order in which you enable them.
