**Filtering a Lightning list view means opening the filter panel, adding a filter, picking values and saving, and doing it again to change your mind. The Quick filters for Salesforce template adds a row of chips above the list, one per stage with its count. Click chips to show only those rows, in your own browser.**

## Steps

1. In Skins Studio, open **Explore**, pick **Quick filters for Salesforce** and click **Create App**.
2. Open a list view in Lightning, such as All Opportunities. Open the **Skins** side panel from the browser toolbar. The skin is listed under **On this page**.
3. Switch it on. A bar of chips appears above the list: one per stage, with the number of records in each.
4. Click a chip to show only those rows, and another to add them. Click a chip again to take it off, or **Clear** to show everything.

## What you get

- A chip for each value of a field (Stage by default), with the number of rows that have it.
- One click to filter, one more to add a value or take it off, and **Clear** to show all.
- The count under the title follows: "4 of 10 items".

## Limits

- It filters the rows the list has loaded. Lightning loads 50 rows at a time, so on a long list scroll to the end first, or use a list view filter.
- It filters the list for you, for now: it doesn't change the list view's saved filters, and colleagues see the list as it is.
- It uses one field. Pick another picklist (such as Lead Status or Type) in the template in Studio.

## Other options

- **The Filters panel**: the funnel next to the list view controls adds filters to the list view, saved for everyone who uses it.
- **Search this list**: the search box filters the list by text.
- **More list views**: one list view per stage, pinned, is one click away each.
- **Ask Salesforce**: upvote the idea. Its status is Open.
