Assets — Filtering and Search (Web)

How to filter and search assets using the sidebar filter panel, search bar, and Quick Filter on the Redlist web app.

Written by Trevor Shaffer

Overview

In the Redlist web app, the Assets page includes a filter panel and search bar in the left sidebar to help teams narrow down which assets are displayed. All filters support multi-select and persist between sessions.

Accessing Filters

  1. From the navigation, click Asset Management, then click Assets

  2. The filter panel is located in the left sidebar of the Assets page

How to Filter Assets

Selecting values in one or more filter fields narrows the asset list automatically. Filters stack — multiple selections across different fields further reduce results.

  1. In the left sidebar, click the filter field you want to use (for example, Type)

  2. Select one or more values from the dropdown

  3. Click Apply

  4. The asset list updates to show only matching assets

  5. Repeat for additional filters to narrow results further

  6. To clear a filter, click the X next to the selected value,

    or click Reset Filters then click Apply

Your filter selections are saved and will be active the next time you return to the Assets page.

How to Search Assets

The search bar finds assets by unit ID, description, name, make, model, or serial number and works together with any active filters.

  1. Click the search box at the top of the sidebar

  2. Type part of the asset's unit ID, description, name, make, model, or serial number

  3. Results update in real time as you type

Note: Search and filters work together — active filters apply to your search results, so narrow your filters first if you're searching within a specific subset of assets.

How to Use Quick Filter

Quick Filter provides a single focused dropdown for fast filtering when you only need to filter by one field at a time.

  1. In the left sidebar, click the Filter icon

  2. Select Show Quick Filter

  3. A dropdown appears — select the field you want to filter by (for example, Status or Region)

  4. Select the filter value from the second dropdown that appears

  5. Click Apply

  6. A dropdown is displayed under the search bar — selecting a value from it updates the asset list immediately

Your Quick Filter field selection is saved per user and will be pre-selected the next time you enable Quick Filter.

Note: Quick Filter is designed for single-field rapid filtering. If you need to filter by multiple fields at once, use the standard filter panel instead.

Use Cases

Technician finding all active pumps

A technician needs to see all active pump assets. They set the Status filter to "Active" and the Type filter to "Pump" — the asset list narrows to just matching records.

Maintenance manager reviewing assets by region

A maintenance manager is preparing for a regional review and wants to see only assets in the "Southwest" region. They select "Southwest" from the Region filter and the list updates immediately.

Reliability engineer doing a quick status check

A reliability engineer regularly checks for assets in a specific status. They enable Quick Filter, set it to Status, and can switch between status values with one click — without needing to open and close the full filter panel each time.

Best Practices

  1. Filters Persist Between Sessions: You do not need to re-apply your usual filters every time you log in — your selections are saved automatically. Clear filters intentionally when you need to see the full asset list.

  2. Combine Filters to Narrow Results Precisely: Selecting values in multiple filter fields narrows the results further — for example, filtering by both Region and Status gives a more focused list than either filter alone.

  3. Use Quick Filter for Frequent Single-Field Checks: If you routinely filter by one field (like Status or Region), Quick Filter is faster than opening the full panel each time.

  4. Search After Filtering: Apply filters first to scope your results, then use the search bar to find a specific asset within the filtered set — this is more reliable than searching the entire inventory.

Summary

Use the sidebar filter panel to narrow your asset list by Status, Type, Class, Region, Client, Location, Make, and Model. Filters support multi-select and are saved automatically between sessions. Use the search bar to find specific assets, or enable Quick Filter for fast single-field filtering.
