I would love to have the ability to pin frequently used filters to the dashboard allowing to quickly go to favorite subsets.

For example by filtering the default movie view to the view wanted (I used unseen sciencefiction in the screenshot, but maybe I want to add release year as well) and when happy with the results, do a pin to dashboard. (see screenshot)

I currently am able to replicate this a bit by creating different libraries but this does not allow for the same level of flexibility.

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes.

> [@\[Feature Request\] - Pin/Save Filters to menu (dedicated items vs. sub-items of the original library)](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-pin-save-filters/543463/1):

> Ability to make “libraries” where its just a saved “filter” of an existing library. EX: Horror, or TV Shows - Networks(ABC). These are all capable by using the filters, but no way to easily save these. Sometimes using the TV the UI screens are very long and you cant “search” and have to scroll thru hundreds of options at time.

Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing).

Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it.
