# Filters
In the Filters tab, there are different filtering options available for users to save / load their alerts based on their selected preferences.
This is useful when only wanting to change or update just certain alerts. Where there is a large number of alerts, this option reduces TVAlertsManager's processing work-load, thus saves times when loading or saving alerts, limiting the processing to a sub-set of alerts.
Users can select custom filtering options to quickly save/load alerts off the spreadsheet.
Users can choose to sort their alerts based on 3 filter choices selectively:\
\- Alert name\
\- Ticker name\
\- Exchange of their choice
**For example:** The user desires to save / load alerts with only the ticker name containing BTC, while at the same time limiting the BTC ticker alerts to be processed to only those related to a certain exchange such as ByBit. This can be accomplished by entering into the 'If ticker contains' text-box 'BTCUSD' and entering into the 'If exchange contains' text-box 'bybit'.
**Note:** TVAlertsManager is not case-sensitive. Upper-case or lower-case works either way, with the same results.
After defining the Filters, use the save and / or load alerts on the 'Alerts' tab to process just the alerts wanted to be saved, edited or updated.

## 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://guide.tvalertsmanager.com/advanced-features/filters.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
