Hi @Mayur_Malaviya 👋 welcome to our community !  
Have you take a look on this documentation [Create and manage Smart Fields - Documentation](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/fields/create-and-manage-smart-fields#filtering) ?

All fields in a smart collection are actually smart fields, so you should be able to use the same syntax to enable filtering

Let me know if that help !

@Arnaud_Moncel Thanks for your response.  
I know about this filter which can be implement on **Smart Field** but my concern is different.  
I have **created smart collection** and It don’t allow me to implement filter.

Please looked at my smart collection. It seems no filter functionality.  
Thanks

Hi 👋 If you put `isFilterable: true` on each field you want to be filterable, you will be able to enable it on field settings

This can be happen in normal collection but as I mention earlier, here I have created **smart collection** it won’t allow me to enable filter. It is strictly disabled.

I understand, but the example I show you above is a smart collection !  
If you create your smart collection like that

```javascript
collection('smart', {
  actions: [],
  fields: [{
    field: 'fullName',
    isFilterable: true,
    type: 'String',
  },{
    field: 'toto',
    isFilterable: true,
    type: 'String',
  }],
  segments: [],
});

```

then you restart your server and refresh your browser you will be able to enable filtering.
