View and filter records

Contacts have an index page that displays the list of contacts. These index pages also include actions and filters you can use to customize and segment your records.

For contacts, you can view all records or segment records based on that contact's properties. If you’re looking for more ways to filter records, learn about the differences between saved views and lists.

  • In your HubSpot account, navigate to Contacts > Contacts.
  • To locate a specific record, enter a search term in the search box in the top left of the view.

Select filter criteria

Before you select criteria for your view, learn how to choose filter options to segment your records. On each index page, you can only filter by that contact’s properties.

To set your criteria in a view, click More filters, then in the right panel, select a property. Depending on the property's field type, choose an option to set criteria for that property:

  • contains exactly: enter a value. A record’s property value must contain the exact text entered to be included in the view. To search for a value with multiple words in a specific order, or including non-English characters, you'll need to enter your value in double quotes (e.g., "HubSpot knowledge base") to filter for an exact match.

Please note: non-alphanumeric characters included in criteria values are treated as delimiters, not as characters themselves. For example, filtering by HubSpot_knowledge_base> will search for values containing HubSpot, knowledge, and base, treating the _ and > as spaces. Even if you use double quotes, such as "HubSpot_knowledge_base>", it will search for values containing "HubSpot knowledge base" in that exact order, but not for values containing the other characters.

  • doesn’t contain exactly: enter a value. A record’s property value must not contain the exact text entered to be included in the view. Records with no value for the property will also be included.

  • is: for Date properties, select from predetermined options (e.g., Today, Yesterday, Last quarter). A record’s property value must be within the selected time frame to be included in the view.

  • is after: for Date picker properties, select a date on the calendar. A record’s property must have a date value that is after the selected date to be included in the view.

  • is any of: select multiple values. A record’s property must have at least one of these values to be included in the view.

  • is before: for Date picker properties, select a date on the calendar. A record’s property must have a date value that is before the selected date to be included in the view.

  • is between: for Date picker properties, select two dates on the calendar. A record’s property must have a date value that is equal to or after the first selected date and equal to or before the second selected date to be included in the view.

  • is (not) equal to: enter or select a value. A record’s property must (not) be equal to this value to be included in the view. If you’ve selected is not equal to, records with no value for the property will also be included.

  • is greater than: for Numerical properties, enter a number. A record’s property must have a value that is greater than the entered number value to be included in the view.

  • is greater than or equal to: for Numerical properties, enter a number. A record’s property must have a value that is greater than or equal to the entered number value to be included in the view.

  • is known: all records with a value for the property will be included in the view.

  • is less than or equal to: for Numerical properties, enter a number. A record’s property must have a value that is less than or equal to the entered number value to be included in the view.

  • is none of: select multiple values. A record's property must have a value that does not match any of the selected values to be included in the view. Records with no value for the property will also be included.

  • is unknown: all records that do not have a value for the property will be included in the view.

Once you're done, click Apply filter.
