Introduction
Filtering employee data accurately is essential for HR teams that manage large volumes of workforce information.
Community fields such as location, department-specific attributes, or custom profile data often play a critical role in narrowing down employee records for reporting, audits, or operational decision-making.
By enabling community fields in filters, HR administrators can make searches more precise and reduce manual effort while working with employee data.
This article explains how to add community fields to filters in uKnowva HRMS using the configuration settings.

This section gives authorised users full control over feature behaviour across the platform.
Step 2: Open the Apps Manager
After entering the configuration area, a new interface displaying various settings appears. Look at the left-side navigation panel and locate the Apps Manager option.
