Building custom filters

March 25, 2026 2 min read

Filters are how you turn “everything” into “exactly the tasks I care about right now.” Lattica’s filter builder is a small AND/OR tree — but most filters are one or two clauses.

The simple cases

From any view, click Filter and pick a field:

  • Assignee is me → all your open tasks
  • Status is not Done → active work
  • Due date is this week → what’s hot
  • Priority is High or Urgent → focus list
  • Tag contains #bug → bugs only

Combining filters

Click + Add condition to AND another clause. Click + Group to start an OR group inside an AND. Most teams stop at three or four clauses; if you need more, save it as a view rather than rebuilding it each time.

Example: tasks assigned to me OR tasks I created, that are open, and were updated in the last seven days.

(assignee = me OR creator = me)
AND status != done
AND updated >= 7d ago

Date filters

Beyond fixed dates, Lattica supports relative ranges that re-evaluate every time you open the view:

  • today, tomorrow, yesterday
  • this week, next week, last week
  • this month, last 30 days
  • n days from now / n days ago
  • overdue — due date in the past, status not Done

Filter URLs

Every filter state is reflected in the URL. Copy the URL and paste it into Slack — anyone who clicks gets the same filtered view. This is the easiest way to share “the four bugs I want triaged today” without screenshots.

Search inside a filter

The search box at the top of every view is additive — it filters the already-filtered results by title, description, or comment text. Useful when you have 200 tasks matching your filter and want the one about login redirects.
