# How to search and filter virtual paddocks on the mobile app

On a busy property with many virtual paddocks, it can be hard to find the one you need. This article shows you how to filter the VPs list by physical paddock and how to search by name, using the eShepherd mobile app. You will need access to the mobile application.

| **Step 1.** From the map screen, tap **VPs** in the bottom toolbar. | **Step 2.** The **In Rotation** list opens showing all your virtual paddocks. To narrow the list, tap the orange **filter** icon at the top right. | **Step 3.** The **Sort by / Filter** panel opens. Pick a sort option (Name, Status, or Last activation) and tap any physical paddocks or status filters you want to apply. |
