## Creating and managing filters

During public beta, managing filters requires a mix of API and Segment UI actions. You'll define and create filters using the [Space Filter API](https://docs.segmentapis.com/tag/Space-Filters/){:target="_blank"}, then manage their status and visibility in the Segment app.

During public beta, you'll use the [Space Filter API](https://docs.segmentapis.com/tag/Space-Filters/){:target="_blank"} to create and manage all Unify event filters. The API lets you define filters using FQL, name them, enable or disable them, and delete them. Each Unify space can have up to 10 filters. Any event that matches one of those filters gets dropped before it reaches Unify.

To create a filter, use the Space Filter API to write a filtering rule using FQL. The API lets you name the filter, enable or disable it, and delete it. You can create up to 10 filters per space, and any event that matches a filter gets dropped before it reaches Unify.

After you create a filter, it shows up in your Segment workspace in **Unify > Unify settings > Filters**. From there, you can view existing filters, turn them on or off, rename them, or delete them. However, you can’t edit the filtering logic from within Segment. If you want to edit filtering logic, you'll need to managed it through the API.

| Drop obvious noise | Start with telemetry, test data, or internal events. |
