# Filtering Events

For any specified view you can set a filtering function that will define, which events should be displayed in the scheduler and which shouldn't. 


~~~js
scheduler.filter_week = function(id, event){
    if(event.name == 'New event')
        return false; // event will be filtered (not rendered)
        //or
        return true; // event will be rendered
}
~~~

where, 'week' is the name of a view (in the *'scheduler.filter_week'*).

The **filter_(viewName)** method takes 2 parameters:

- **id** - the event's id
- **event** - the event object

Remember, you can set different filtering functions for different views:

~~~js
scheduler.filter_day = scheduler.filter_week = function(id, event){
    //some_code
}
...
scheduler.filter_timeline = function(id, event){
    //some_other code
}

~~~
