# Global Filters

If you want to work with a subset of data within a given collection then this is where the global filters come in handy. These allow you to define a filter to apply to all queries for a given collection.

## Applying a global filter

Applying a global filter is controlled via the [collections](/umbraco-ui-builder/13.latest/collections/overview.md) configuration.

### **SetFilter(Lambda whereClauseExpression) : CollectionConfigBuilder\<TEntityType>**

Sets the filter **where clause** expression. Expression must be a `boolean` expression.

```csharp
// Example
collectionConfig.SetFilter(p => p.Current);
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-ui-builder/13.latest/filtering/global-filters.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
