# Use Task Filter

**Note**: Before getting started with the [Task](/docs/headless-cms/about-workflow-tasks) filter, make sure you are familiar with the key concepts of [Workflow](/docs/headless-cms/about-workflows) and its [Stages](/docs/headless-cms/about-workflow-stages).

You can refine tasks based on specific filters as shown below:

Let’s look at the filters that you can use.

*   **By Users (available for stack Admins and Owner)**: Stack admins and the owner can view all tasks of all the stack users. They can filter the tasks by users.  
    
*   **By Action**: This filter lets you refine tasks based on the action that is required by you. Some of the values that you can select here are **Approved**, **Pending**, and **Rejected**.
*   **By Workflow Stages**: You will see the list of all the workflows that are available for your stack. You can then select a workflow to view all the stages. If you select any stage, Contentstack will filter all the entries of which the selected stage is assigned to you.
