# Contacts by Critical Issues

* **Created By** — Filters by the user who created the record.
* **Complete** — Filters by completion status.
* **Quarter** — Filters by quarter.
* **Date Range** — Filters by record creation date.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**NOTE:** Filters such as Units, Sites, Interventions, Projects, Action Plans, and Settings are not applicable to this dashboard because the underlying Quarterly Effort data does not include these fields.
