Quick Filtering

In the main interface (Browse Mode), you can use the convenient filtering tools at the top:

1. Category Quick Filter

A row of category icons (like “All”, “Books”, “Electronics”, etc.) is located below the search box.

Tap Icon: Directly filters all items under that category.
Tap Again: Cancels the filter and shows all items.

2. View Switching

Click the view switch button on the toolbar to toggle between three display modes:

Card View: Large images, emphasizing visual experience.
Compact View (List): Compact display, suitable for browsing large amounts of information.
Grid View: Efficient display, clear at a glance.

Click the Filter button (funnel icon) on the right side of the toolbar to open the advanced filter panel. Supports multi-dimensional cross-filtering:

1. Space Filter

Select one or more Spaces (e.g., “Living Room”, “Bedroom”).
Filter results will be limited to within the selected spaces.

Select one or more Categories.
Supports cross-category filtering (e.g., viewing “Food” and “Medicine” simultaneously).

3. Tag Filter

Select one or more Tags.
Only items containing the selected tags will be displayed.

4. Status Filter

Filter by item lifecycle status:

Normal: Items in normal use.
Expiring Soon: Items expiring within 7 days (marked in yellow).
Expired: Items that have expired (marked in red).

Tip: Advanced filter conditions are “AND” relationships. For example, if you select “Bedroom” and “Red” simultaneously, the system will only show items that are located in the bedroom AND tagged with red.

By Added Time: Group into Today, Yesterday, This Week, This Month, etc.

Sort By

By Name: Alphabetical order.
By Created Time: Newly added items first (Default).

By Quantity: Higher quantity first.

FAQ

Q: Why can’t I search for an existing item?

Check if any filter conditions are active (if so, a filter status bar will show below the search box).
Try using simpler keywords.
Confirm if the item has been moved to “Memory Forest” or “Recycle Bin” (search defaults to showing active items only).

Q: How do I clear all filter conditions?

If advanced filters are applied, a status bar appears at the top of the main list. Click the “Clear Filter” button on the right to reset with one tap.
Or directly click the clear button (X) on the right side of the search box.
