Use mobile filters in list screens to enable your users to find what they need in your
instance's records.
Choose one of the following options when configuring your mobile list screens:

## Default filters {#mobile-list-filters__section_fjn_sfb_bmb}

By default, the instance automatically creates a filter and sorting functionality. This filter
is based on the fields selected in your list pattern. No further configuration is needed. Users
can filter and sort the list based on any of these fields.

## Custom filters {#mobile-list-filters__section_n1h_tfb_bmb}

If the default filters do not fit your requirements, consider creating a customer filter experience for your users. You can manually select the fields available to the list filter, as well as enable keyword filtering. Custom filters can include fields that are not in the list pattern. For more details on creating custom filters, see [Configure a custom filter](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/5rLQRFYErX6vq8orS08Mng "Manually create a filter experience for your users. Custom filters can include fields that are not in the list pattern.").  
Note:  
For those who have upgraded to the Rome release, consider the following:

* If you did not define filters and are using the default setup, you automatically use the default filters and sorting capabilities after the upgrade.
* If you defined filters in earlier versions, then after the upgrade your defined filters are still available. However, you must manually configure the sorting capabilities. See, [Configure sorting capabilities within mobile filters](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/iqc5XuGjzYKwCsbG8V4ZFg "Use the sorting option in lists and maps to help users organize their filtered results and enable them to view the most relevant information. Examples of configurable sorting options are: recently added, assigned to (ascending), assigned to (descending), and highest priority first.").

## Disabling filters {#mobile-list-filters__section_uhv_tfb_bmb}

To disable filters and sorting on list screens, open the list screen record in Mobile App Builder and disable the Hide filters option. When filtering is turned off, users are unable to filter or sort records.
