Filters narrow People to the attendees who match what you are looking for, such as an interest, a goal or the countries a company operates in. Filters work the same in the mobile app and the web app.
Where to find it
People (or the name your organizer gave it) > Your matches or > Attendees. The Filters button sits next to Search for attendees (and Sort on Attendees). Below the buttons, each filter also has its own button in a row you can scroll sideways.
Filter the list
Select Filters. The Filters sheet lists every filter available at your event.
Select a filter, for example Interest.
Select one or more options. If the filter has more than 10 options, use the search field at the top of the sheet.
Select Apply. The list updates and you return to the Filters sheet.
Repeat for other filters, then select Apply.
To change one filter without opening the full sheet, select its button in the row below the toolbar, choose the options and select Apply.
If you close a filter's sheet without selecting Apply, your changes to that filter are discarded.
The filters
Operating in: the countries the person's company operates in, as they entered them under Where do you operate?. People who chose a whole region, such as Europe, also match the countries in that region.
Interest: the interests the person selected.
Goal: the goals people chose for their interests. The names come from your event.
Attendance type: In-person, Virtual or Hybrid, from the person's ticket. Only at some hybrid events.
Persona, Function and Industry: the answers to the event's profile questions. Your organizer can rename these filters.
Filters for other profile questions, at events where the organizer offers them. The options are the answers attendees gave.
A filter appears only if it has options. For example, Interest and Goal are missing at events without interests.
How filters combine
Within one filter, a person matches if they have any of the options you selected.
Across filters, a person must match every filter you set.
Interest and Goal together match people who chose one of your goals for one of your interests. A person who chose that goal only for a different interest does not match.
Clear filters
To clear everything, select Clear filters at the start of the row of filter buttons, or Filters > Clear all. Clear filters shows only while a filter is on. The list updates at once.
To remove one filter, open it, clear its options and select Apply.
The Filters button shows how many filters are on. In the row, the filters you set move to the front and show how many options you selected.
Good to know
Filters stay on when you switch between Your matches and Attendees, and when you leave People. In the web app, the page address keeps applied filters across reloads. Bookmark or share that address to open the filtered list.
The sort order is separate and resets when you leave the sub-tab. See Sort attendees.
Bookmarks has no Filters button.
Scans has its own list. The filters don't apply to it.
At events that also list people who have not joined yet, those people are hidden while a filter is on.
Search for attendees opens the event search with People selected. It does not use your filters. See Search the event.
Operating in matches only people who entered their company's countries. To appear in other people's results, add yours under Account > Company information > Where do you operate?. See Set up your networking profile.
Troubleshooting
"Hmm... no attendees found" or "Hmm... no matches found"
No one matches all your filters. Select Clear filters and reload, or remove a filter.
A filter is missing
The filter has no options at your event, or the organizer has not set up the questions it uses.
