# 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 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.
