# Filter admin functions

Administrators can work with filters in the Filters table \[sys\_filter\], including creating, editing, and deleting filters.

Administrators can also create scripted filters that cannot be created in the condition builder. Scripted filters required a knowledge of JavaScript. Scripted filters can be used to create additional [dynamic filter options](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-user-interface/r_UsingTheDynamicOperator.md).

-   **[Create and edit filters](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-user-interface/t_EditingSavedFilters.md)**  
Set up and edit an admin-configured filter.
-   **[Delete filters](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-user-interface/t_DeletingFilters.md)**  
You can delete any saved filter, including global, group, or personal filters.
-   **[Create scripted filters](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-user-interface/t_ScriptedFilters.md)**  
The condition builder alone cannot create some filters, such as displaying a record set that depends on an unrelated table. If you know JavaScript, you can create JavaScript functions for use in advanced filters.
-   **[Create a dynamic filter option](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-user-interface/t_DynamicFilterOptions.md)**  
Dynamic filter options enhance filtering by allowing users to run existing script includes or JavaScript against a reference field within condition builders and dynamic reference qualifiers.
