# Filetering and sorting

To help you find the information you need, the Dashboard offers two filtering methods:

## **Location filtering**

Select a location from the Locations panel on the left to display only the sensors assigned to that location and its sublocations. [Locations can be fully managed](/efento-cloud/advanced/locations.md) by users with **Administrator** or **Manager** permission levels.

## Dashboard filters

Use the filter tools to narrow results within the selected location. You can:

* Search by **Sensor name** or **Serial number**
* Sort by any column (Name / Serial number, Location, Status, Measured)
* Use the **Filters** button (top right) to filter sensors by type (e.g., temperature, humidity, pressure) or status (Disabled, OK, Lost, Battery, Alarm, No license, Archived)

By default, all sensors except archived ones are shown. To reset filters, clear the search field or refresh the page.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.efento.io/efento-cloud/basics/images-and-media/filetering-and-sorting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
