In Clay, filters and filter groups serve different purposes in refining your data view: 1. Filters: These are individual conditions applied to specific columns. You can filter by text, numbers, or other data types, using operators like "equal to," "contains," or "greater than." 2. Filter groups: These allow you to combine multiple filters using AND or OR logic. You can create more complex filtering conditions by grouping filters together. Filter groups can be layered up to two levels deep for advanced filtering. Filter groups are particularly useful when you need to apply multiple conditions simultaneously or create more sophisticated data selection criteria.

To filter out multiple values within the same column in Clay, you can use the Filter feature. Here's how: 1. Click "Filter" above the table. 2. Select the column you want to filter. 3. Choose the appropriate operator (e.g., "not equal to" or "does not contain"). 4. Enter the values you want to filter out, separated by commas. For more complex filtering, you can use the Filter List of Objects action, which allows you to specify a filter field, mode, and multiple values to filter by. If you need further assistance, you can request human help by clicking on "Talk to a person" in the chat.

Hi Miguel, thanks for reaching out. Taking a look at this now! Filter groups will be particularly helpful to do exactly what you're describing here: neatly organizing multiple filtering parameters within a single conceptual group. I recorded this quick video to show you how you can set this up: https://www.loom.com/share/7bd7fe1451874cbaa124e124a5fbd4c2?sid=1f755703-46ad-4a36-aa8a-8c58f088d993 I hope this was helpful. If there's anything else I can assist you with, please let me know!

That's right! That configuration will work as well it's just a matter of what structure you prefer to keep for keeping oversight on the filtering structure.
