Before you start
You must have System Administrator or Event Manager permissions to access all filtering options. Some filtering features may be limited based on your permission level.
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence account.

Locate the search bar at the top of the Companies page.
Enter your search term in the search field.
You can search by company name, description, or other text fields associated with company profiles.
Press Enter or click the search icon to execute your search.

Click the "Refine" button next to the search field to access advanced filtering options.
Select filter criteria from the available categories:

Visibility settings
Choose specific values for each filter category as needed.
If you select multiple filter categories, only companies that match ALL selected criteria will appear in the results.
Click "Apply" to update your search results with the combined filters.
Clear filters by clicking "Clear All" or the "X" next to individual filters.
Toggle between List View and Grid View using the view selector in the upper right corner.
