How to filter tasks in ClickUp
Filter tasks in a ClickUp List by priority: open Filter, add a Priority condition, pick a value, and see only matching tasks in your view.
Quick answer
To filter tasks in ClickUp, open your List and click **Filter** in the toolbar, then choose **Priority** as the filter. Open the value picker, pick **Urgent**, and the list narrows to matching tasks. A badge shows **1 Filter**, and **Clear all filters** removes it when you want every task back.

Summary
ClickUp filters let you narrow a List to the tasks that matter right now, such as everything marked Urgent. You build a condition in the Filter menu and the list updates straight away. It keeps a busy List readable without changing any task.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Open the filter menu
Open the List you want to work in. In the toolbar above the tasks, click **Filter**. A Filters panel opens with a **Select filter** drop-down where you pick what to filter by.
Step 2
Choose Priority as the filter
In the **Select filter** list, choose **Priority**. The list also offers options such as **Status**, **Tags**, **Due date** and **Assignee**, so pick whichever field fits what you want to find.
Step 3
Open the value picker
The condition now reads **Priority** **Is**. Click **Select an option** to open the list of values you can match.
Step 4
Pick Urgent
Choose **Urgent** from the list. The other options are **High**, **Normal**, **Low** and **No Priority**.
Step 5
See only the filtered tasks
Close the panel. The List now shows only tasks that match, and the toolbar shows **1 Filter**. Use **Clear all filters** to bring every task back.
Why this matters
You have a List full of tasks and only need the urgent ones before a stand-up. Filtering by priority cuts the list down in a few clicks, so you can focus on what is due first and clear the filter once you are done.
Frequently asked questions
Does filtering change my tasks?
No. A filter only changes what the view shows. Your tasks stay as they are, and **Clear all filters** shows every task again.
Can I add more than one filter?
The Filters panel has an **Add filter** button, so you can add another condition alongside the first one.
