Searching & Filtering

As your library grows, you need fast ways to find specific songs. Producer Dashboard gives you a live search bar for quick lookups and a powerful filter system for more complex queries.

Live search

The search bar sits at the top of the tracks grid. Start typing and the grid filters down in real time — no need to press Enter or click a search button. Results narrow with every keystroke.

Search matches against the song name by default. If you are looking for a track called “Midnight Drive”, typing “mid” or “drive” will surface it instantly.

Clear the search field to show all tracks again.

Filter manager

For more specific queries, use the filter manager. This lets you build precise filter rules that go beyond simple text search.

Open the filter manager from the toolbar above the grid. You will see options to add filter rules based on different track properties.

Available filter properties

Property	What you can filter by
Stage	Any workflow stage (idea, editing, published, etc.)
Bucket	Any project or folder
Tags	Any tag or combination of tags
Date range	Created or updated within a specific period
Has bounce	Whether the song has at least one audio bounce file
Has project file	Whether the song has a linked DAW project file
BPM range	Tracks within a certain tempo range
Key	Songs in a specific musical key
Due date	Tracks with upcoming or overdue deadlines

Building a filter

To create a filter:

1. Open the filter manager.
2. Choose a property from the dropdown (for example, “Stage”).
3. Set the condition (for example, “is” or “is not”).
4. Pick the value (for example, “Editing”).
5. The grid updates immediately to show only matching tracks.

You can add multiple filter rules to narrow things down further. All active rules combine together — a track must match every rule to appear in the results.

Inclusion and exclusion filters

Filters can work in two directions:

• Include — show only tracks that match. For example, “Stage is Editing” shows only tracks in the editing stage.
• Exclude — hide tracks that match. For example, “Stage is not Archived” hides everything that has been archived.

Exclusion filters are handy for removing noise. If you want to see your active library without archived tracks cluttering the view, add a single exclusion filter and you are done.

Combining filters

You can stack multiple filters to get very specific results. Some practical examples:

“Show me everything I am actively working on in the Forest project”

• Stage is Editing
• Bucket is Forest

”Find all tracks with bounces but no project file”

• Has bounce is Yes
• Has project file is No

”What is due this week?”

• Due date is within Next 7 days

”All downtempo tracks in a minor key”

• BPM range is 80-110
• Key contains minor

Each filter you add makes the results more targeted. The grid updates live as you adjust.

Saved views

If you find yourself applying the same set of filters regularly, save them as a view. A saved view stores your filter rules and sort preferences so you can switch to them with a single click.

Creating a saved view

1. Set up the filters and sorting you want.
2. Click Save View in the filter manager.
3. Give your view a name (for example, “Active Projects” or “Ready for Release”).
4. The view appears in your views list for quick access.

Switching between views

Your saved views are available from a dropdown or sidebar. Click one to apply its filters instantly. The grid switches to show exactly what that view defines.

Example views you might create

View name	Filters
Active Work	Stage is not Archived, Stage is not Published
Ready for Release	Stage is Ready to Post
Missing Bounces	Has bounce is No, Stage is not Idea
This Week’s Deadlines	Due date is within Next 7 days
Collaborations	Tags include “collab”

Saved views are personal. They stay available across sessions and do not affect other users.

Clearing filters

To remove all active filters and see your full library again, click the Clear Filters button in the filter manager. This removes every rule and shows all tracks.

You can also remove individual filter rules one at a time by clicking the remove icon next to each rule.

Search and filters together

Search and filters work independently and stack on top of each other. You can have active filters running and then use the search bar to narrow down within those filtered results.

For example, if you have a filter showing only tracks in the “Editing” stage, typing a song name in the search bar will search only within those editing-stage tracks.

Tips

• Start with search for quick lookups. If you know the song name, search is the fastest way to find it.
• Use filters for browsing and discovery. When you want to see what fits a certain criteria rather than looking for a specific song.
• Save views for your regular workflows. If you check on “ready for release” tracks every day, make it a one-click view instead of rebuilding the filter each time.
• Combine include and exclude filters. Sometimes it is easier to say “everything except archived” than to list every stage you do want to see.
• Filters persist while you work. They stay active as you edit tracks, play audio, or switch panels. Clear them when you are done.
