The Microsoft Loop collaboration app that became generally available in November 2023 continues to add new features and improvements. Today, the Microsoft 365 Insider blog announced that the Loop app has added filters for its tables and dashboards.

God said in a blog post:

Filters help you quickly find and access relevant information in your loop tables and boards. This makes it easier to gain insights, especially when working with large amounts of data.

The new filters can be accessed simply Opening the Loop web app and then create a new tablet-based component or open an already created component. So all you have to do is click on Filters Selecting an icon that is on top of your table in the action bar.

The filters feature allows you to set up multiple rules, and when you’re done, you can click to apply choice. You should see the Fliters icon showing the number of rules you have defined for your table. Microsoft says filters can also be set with content viewed with the panels option.

Microsoft adds that this is not the only thing that can be used with filters in Loop:

Filters can also be applied to all table/board elements, as well as task lists and integrations such as JIRA, GitHub and Trello.

The new feature is now available to all Microsoft 365 subscribers.

As we mentioned, Microsoft has added quite a few new features and improvements to Loop since its GA launch. It includes a way to export loop tables to Excel spreadsheets, along with a way to add links from another collaboration app, Figma. Recently, the app’s task list elements got a refresh that makes them look like Loop’s tables. It also added filtering options to those task list elements, along with a way to change and customize the length of a task list row height.
