# Claim Causes This module makes it possible for ***administrators*** to create and modify claim causes. The list displays all enabled claim causes by default, but it is also possible to display those that are disabled through the filter 'Disabled' in the top-right header (see figure 1).

## Filtering and Sorting [Quick filters ](/release-8.25/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/sorting-and-filtering-lists.md#quick-filters)in the top-right header let you filter by **code**, **description**, or **disabled claim causes**. You can combine multiple filters to narrow down the list further.

It is also possible to search for the claim cause using the search box in the top-left. The search can be combined with quick filters for more precise results, see the figure below.

To sort the list, click the sort option in the list headers. For more details on filtering and sorting, refer to the [**Sorting and Filtering Lists**](/release-8.25/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/sorting-and-filtering-lists.md) page. ## Creating a Claim Cause To create a new Claim Cause, click the **blue plus button** in the top-right. When clicked, a create modal will appear, where you can enter a code and description (figure 6). Both fields are required, and the code has to be unique, see figure 7. Once created, the claim cause drawer will open.

In the drawer, you can enable or disable the claim cause using the secondary action menu (vertical ellipsis) in the top-right corner. **Note:** If the selected claim cause is disabled, you must enable it before making any changes. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
