Quick Filters in Franklin streamline the variant triage process by allowing analysts to quickly apply a predefined filtering strategy. These filters help standardize review workflows and improve consistency across your team. Quick Filters are shared across your organization, enabling collaboration and unified triage practices.

Creating Quick Filter

To create a Quick Filter:

  1. Open a case and go to the Variants tab.

  2. Use the filter pane on the left to select your desired filter criteria.

  3. Click the 💾 floppy disk icon at the top of the filter panel.

  4. Enter a name and optional description for the filter.

  5. Click Save.

Your new Quick Filter will now appear first on the Quick Filters list. Repeat this process to create additional presets.
