The filtering logic has been further refined and the platform is more clearly reflecting the different combinations of search by displaying the used criteria in a sentence format. By using different operators the queries are easy to understand and modify. AutoSave will make sure you don’t lose any latest changes even when switching between lists or modules in Vainu.
​
The filter categories are visible under the list name and what they contain is specified below. When opening a filter category there will be one or more filters to choose from. First, you select the filter and then you can determine if you want to include or exclude these types of companies. Most of the filters have only two options: “is” or “is not”.
For example:
​

There are a few filters that also have options “contains”, “starts with” and “doesn’t start with”.
After choosing this, depending on the filter you have to choose from a list, type, or choose a range for the filter.
​
​

Examples of "is" and "is not" searches.
This search will give us companies that are located in Helsinki.

This search will give us companies that are located anywhere else than in Helsinki.

​OR and AND searches
​​
The logic behind OR searches is that you can widen the search and do not have to make multiple lists. For example, you can find companies with Visiting city in Helsinki OR Espoo. OR search is made by selecting multiple search values for the same filter.

AND searches are created by selecting “+”. It means that the companies on the list comply with all the criteria selected. For example, the below filters narrow the list to companies that have websites in English AND use Pipedrive as CRM.
​

Filters from different categories are always with AND logic.
​
You can also do AND and OR searches at the same time. With this example, you get the companies that have websites in English or Spanish and that use Pipedrive.
