# Save and share filter sets Learn how to create filter sets to improve collaboration across teams, ensure data consistency, and create filtered views of Mux Data. **What are filter sets?** Filter sets allow you to save and share commonly used filter combinations into sets to ensure data consistency and streamline operational workflows. 1.

Public means that all users in an environment will be able to see and select the filter set. 5. Select the filters that you wish to add to your filter set.

Not all filters are supported across all dashboards. If you navigate to a dashboard on Mux that doesn’t support a filter in your selected filter set, that filter will be deactivated while on that dashboard. A warning message will appear and the filter set will appear yellow if all values are not applicable to that page. The filter will also appear in a deactivated state in the filter display menu. Once you navigate to a dashboard where that filter is applicable, it will be reactivated. Mux Monitoring Overview dashboard in dark mode.

However, filter sets are not available to be applied to custom dashboard components. **Delete a filter set** 1. Select the edit filter set icon for the filter set you wish to delete. 2.
