# Phenotypic Filtering

To filter with phenotypic data, you can filter from the tiles that you added in the “Overview” tab,  or through the “+ Add Filter” button in the Cohort Banner. These filters allow for assessing the impact of phenotypic/ clinical data and the creation of cohorts. 

## How to Filter a Dataset with Phenotypic Filters

1\. In the Cohort section, select the “+ Add Filter”

2\. Search or select your characteristic. Ex: Diagnoses, Tumor Details > Tumor Disease Anatomic Site

3\. Click Add Cohort Filter

4\. Make sure "Is Any of" is selected, click on empty field

5\. Select details for the characteristic. Ex: selecting Ovary&#x20;

6\. Your cohort panel will then look like this:

7. Repeat steps as necessary to filter as needed to create your cohort

## **And/ Or Functionality**

In this example, we are going to create 2 different filters. One will be a sample with where the tumor disease anatomic site is the ovary, and another where the site is breast.&#x20;

If in the cohort filter we select the tumor disease anatomic site “is ovary” AND tumor disease anatomic site “is breast”, then we have zero patients.&#x20;

This is seen the in the figure below:&#x20;

Instead, we would need to change this to “OR” by pressing the “AND With” portion of the filter. &#x20;

Now, we have a filter that has the tumor disease anatomic site as the ovary or the breast.&#x20;
