# Filtering RO’s

Workflow has many filtering options that can be found in the header at the top of the dashboard. Filtering is a powerful feature that allows you to simplify the dashboard to only the RO's you want to view. If you're running a busy shop with many active repair orders, then filtering those RO's can be extremely helpful to find what you need.
