# Apply filters to the Contacts tab

> Create filters to better manage and organize contacts.

## Why use filters

Organize, manage, and search your list with filters.

Additionally, filters can help you build [Segments](/articles/contacts/manage-your-contacts/segment-your-contacts) to design personalized marketing and efficiently manage your list.

## Create filters

Add multiple filters, duplicate filters, and use the same filter more than once.

### Select filter criteria

* **Category**: a specific division available on Kajabi
* **Conditional**: dynamic requirements or conditions specific to the Category selected
* **Value**: the specified parameter for the Category and Conditional

### Filter the contact list to manage and organize contacts

1. Open the **Contacts** tab from your Kajabi Dashboard.
2. Click **Filters**.
3. Select your **Category**, **Conditional**, and **Value**:

</div>

After creating a Filter, click **Apply Filters** or add a filter to narrow your list even further.

If you wish to create a Segment with your Filter(s) simply click **Save as segment** after applying your filters. [Learn more about Segments](/articles/contacts/manage-your-contacts/segment-your-contacts).

<Note>
  **Note:** Create up to 10 filters.

## Things to consider when applying filters

There are a few things to consider when applying filters to your Contacts tab, in order to obtain the most accurate filter results.

### Apply duplicate categories

* If multiple instances of a filter with the same category and conditional are applied, the duplicate instance will be omitted, regardless of any differences in values:

Instead, it is best to [use categories that allow you to select multiple values](#select-multiple-values).

### Select multiple values

* Depending on the selected Category, you may be able to select multiple values. For example, creating a Filter with the "Offer" or "Tags" Category allows you to select multiple Values to define the Filter:

### Conditionals

* Applying a Filter for "Offer" with the Conditional, "Owns", functions as an "OR" statement, not as an "AND" statement:

* Applying "Tags" with the Conditional, "Has any" or "Has all", functions as an AND statement when selecting multiple Tags for the Filter:
