# How to filter default and custom views: date and value-based filters

Filters narrow your call data to exactly what you need. 
You can apply them to any view; both the four default views and any custom views you have created.
There are two types: **date filters** and **value-based filters**. 
You can use them independently or together.

# 1. Date filters

* Select the view you want to filter.
### Step 2. Apply the date range

* Select the date range you want to view data for.
* Click **Apply**.
