Filter and sort stores in the dashboard
What this article helps you do
Find specific stores faster in the Mapstore dashboard by using search, status filters, and sorting. Useful when you have many locations and need to locate or manage a subset of them.
Before you start
- Mapstore is installed and you have stores in the Stores list
- You have access to the Mapstore admin
Step-by-step instructions
1. Use search to find stores by name or address
- Go to Stores in Mapstore.
- Use the search box to type a store name, city, or part of an address.
- The list updates to show only matching stores.
2. Filter by status
- Use the Status filter to show only Active stores, only Draft stores, or all stores.
- Helps you quickly see which locations are live versus still in draft.
3. Show or hide sheet-managed stores
- Use the Show/Hide synced stores control to include or exclude stores managed by Google Sheets.
- Source is also visible per row (manual vs sheet-managed) in the Stores table.
4. Sort the list
- Use the sort dropdown to order stores by updated date or name.
- Helps you browse and manage stores in a logical order.
5. Combine filters and search
- You can combine search with status filters and synced-store visibility.
- Example: show only active stores with names containing “Downtown”, including synced stores.
How to verify it worked
- Search for a store name - the list shows only matching results.
- Switch status filter - the list updates to reflect your selection.
- Change sort order - stores appear in the new order.
Common issues and fixes
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Search returns no results | Check spelling and try a shorter or different term (e.g. city instead of full address). |
| Filters seem not to apply | Make sure you click or select the filter; the list updates automatically. |
| Can’t find a store you know exists | Clear filters and search, then try again with a different term. |
