# Filter and Sort Templates

Source: https://userguide.qualytics.io/data-quality-checks/templates/how-tos/filter-and-sort/

Search, filter, and sort the template list to find the templates you need to apply, review, or change.

The list appears on the **Library** page. Click **Library** in the left side panel to open it. The **Search** field, the sort menu, and the **Filter**  menu sit in a row above the list. To switch between ascending and descending order, click the arrow to the left of the selected sort criterion.

The **Search**  field finds templates by identifier or description.

## Filters

The **Filter**  menu narrows the list by the conditions below. Pick a filter on the left side of the menu, choose its value on the right, and click **Apply**. **Clear** at the top of a filter's options resets that filter. **Clear all** at the top of the menu resets every filter at once.

Next to the filter's name, at the top of its options, a drop-down sets how the selected values match. It lists only the operators that filter supports, and starts on the first operator in its list.

| Operator | Shows |
| --- | --- |
| **is any of** | The items that match at least one selected value. |
| **is not any of** | The items that match none of the selected values. |
| **is all of** | The items that match every selected value, such as the items that carry all of the selected tags. |
| **is empty** / **is not empty** | **is empty** shows the items with nothing set for that filter, such as no tag. **is not empty** shows the items with something set. |

| Filter | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Status** | Shows only the **Locked** templates or only the **Unlocked** ones. See [Locked and Unlocked Templates](https://userguide.qualytics.io/data-quality-checks/templates/deep-dive/how-it-works/#locked-and-unlocked-templates). |
| **Rule** | Shows only the templates of the selected rule types. |
| **Tags** | Shows only the templates that carry the selected tags. Choose **is empty** to find the templates with no tag. |
| **Check** | Shows only the templates that the selected checks were created from. The list offers only checks linked to a template. Use the search box inside the menu to find a check. |

## Sort

The sort menu orders the list by one of the following criteria. Select a criterion, then pick its direction on the same row. The list reorders when the menu closes.

| Sort | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Active Checks** | Orders the list by how many active checks each template has created, **Most** or **Fewest** first. This is the default order. |
| **Active Anomalies** | Orders the list by how many active anomalies the checks of each template have, **Most** or **Fewest** first. |
| **Coverage** | Orders the list by the coverage set on each template, **Highest** or **Lowest** first. |
| **Created Date** | Orders the list by when each template was created, **Newest** or **Oldest** first. |
| **Rules** | Orders the list alphabetically by rule type, **A-Z** or **Z-A**. |
