Smart Filters and Categories in Scanner Pro

The following article was translated from English using a machine translation service.

Smart Filters automatically sort your scans into categories as you create them — no manual sorting required. Instead of scrolling through one long list of documents, you can jump straight to what you need, whether it's a receipt, a student ID, or a prescription.

In this article, you'll learn how to set up and use Smart Filters in Scanner Pro on your device.

How it works

Here’s how Smart Filters work in Scanner Pro: 

1. Launch Scanner Pro. 
2. Go to My Scans view. 
3. Check the filter with document categories under the search bar at the top of the screen. 
4. Set the filter to day, month, or year if needed. 
5. Choose several categories or dates at once.

This feature is also available in individual folders: filters will be applied to this folder specifically and will correspond to what is stored in it.

How to enable or disable 

Smart Filters feature is enabled in Scanner Pro by default - if you want to disable it, you can follow these steps: 

1. Launch Scanner Pro. 
2. Go to Settings > Advanced Settings. 
3. Toggle Smart Filters off or on.

How to change the smart category manually

In case some scan got filtered incorrectly and you’d like to change its category yourself, you can do so by following these instructions: 

1. Launch Scanner Pro. 
2. Open the needed scan. 
3. Tap on its name at the top of the screen. 
4. Tap Change Category in the pop-up menu.
