Overview
List filters are useful when you want to create report conditions but not use the report builder or when you have a list view you want to view as part of your day to day operations within ServiceNow.
Steps to Take
- As an agent, if you'd like to save a list filter go to the list you'd like to view. For example, if you'd like to create a filter on the incident table, go to one of the incident lists, such as Incident > All Active. For a request, go to General Request > General Request > All Active.

Loading List Filters
If you'd like to use a filter that has been created and shared by someone in your group, follow these instructions:
- Go to the list you'd like to view. For example, if you'd like to run a filter on the incident table, go to one of the incident lists, such as Incident > Open. For a request, go to Service Catalog & Request > Open Records > Requests.
