# Filter SOP

The **Apply Filter** panel allows you to narrow down SOPs based on specific criteria. You can filter by **Category** to view SOPs under a particular classification, or by **Status** (e.g., Published or Unpublished) to check their current state. Use the **Users** and **Groups** filters to find SOPs assigned to specific team members or roles. The **Created By** filter helps you locate SOPs created by a particular user. Applying these filters makes it easier to manage and find SOPs quickly, especially in large libraries.

**Steps to filter SOP**

- Click **“Apply Filter”** or open the **filter panel** in the SOP list view.
- Select one or more filter criteria:
  - **Category** – Choose a specific SOP category.
  - **Status** – Filter by status (e.g., Draft, Published).
  - **Users** – Show SOPs assigned to selected users.
  - **Groups** – Show SOPs assigned to selected groups.
  - **Created By** – Filter SOPs by their creator.
- The list updates automatically or click **“Apply”** to view results.
