To save your currently applied filters as a default for this client or all clients, create Filter Defaults. Filter defaults are unavailable on Claims lists opened from the Access menu, as Access > Claims already provides a filtered view.

Your filter defaults are unique to your user code and will not affect other users’ saved defaults.
