Designing filters in User Interviews
Overview
In this project, I designed an interactive filter component to be used in our CRM instance to replace our existing filtering system. This component solved for our user's filtering pain points in the CRM instance, and also in our project participant management funnel.
Previously, the filter component was a modal, with filters running on an outdated operator system.
The prior filtering ecosystem utilized a centered filtering modal. Certain inconsistencies across Date, Number, String, and Boolean filter types created usability issues for our customers. The interaction design of filtering via a modal made the filtering process feel disconnected from the table of results it was filtering.
Outcomes
The filtering project, completed in December 2024 was considered a successful product release!
We saw a 7% increase in R's using filters as a % of all Hub users
We received positive feedback from happy customers post-release.
The filtering component is modular in our design system to be used across the product in other table instances
