🎚️ Which filters can I configure?

ChiliSIMAP gives you eight filter dimensions to precisely control which Swiss tenders are imported as Deals into your HubSpot CRM.

🎯 Filters at a glance:

1. Language – DE, FR, IT, or EN. Controls which language titles and descriptions are preferred when importing.
2. Cantons – Multi-select across all 26 Swiss cantons. Only tenders from the selected cantons are imported.
3. CPV codes – Common Procurement Vocabulary, searchable. Use these to filter by industry / product category.
4. BKP codes – Construction cost-plan codes, fully preloaded. Relevant for construction tenders.
5. Project type – e.g. construction, supplies, services.
6. Process type – e.g. open procedure, selective procedure, direct award.
7. Publication type – e.g. tender, award, prior information notice.
8. Procurement offices (Beschaffungsstellen) – Search for specific public bodies (federal, cantonal, municipal, etc.). Minimum 3 characters to search.
9. Keywords – Free-text terms that must appear in the title or description.

🔗 How are filters combined?

⚠️ Constraining filters (at least one required)

At least one filter from this group must be set for the sync to run – a single filter is enough: Cantons, CPV codes, BKP codes, Procurement offices, or Keywords. Project type, process type, and publication type do not count as constraining – if left empty, they are treated as "All" and only narrow the results further if you choose.

🔀 Combination logic

• Within the same field: OR. Multiple values in the same filter are combined with OR. Example: canton Wallis or Zürich – the same applies to multiple keywords.
• Between different fields: AND. Filters across different fields are combined with AND. Example: canton Wallis + CPV code "Construction" only imports construction tenders from Wallis – not everything from either filter.

📊 Limits per field

• Cantons: max. 25
• CPV codes: max. 15
• BKP codes: max. 15
• Procurement offices: max. 25
• Keywords: max. 10

These limits make sure your filters actually narrow down the result set (e.g. you cannot select all 26 cantons) and that the import stays performant.

💡 Tip:

You don't have to set every filter. In practice, 2–3 dimensions are usually enough (e.g. cantons + CPV codes) to build a solid pipeline. Filters that are too narrow risk missing relevant tenders.
