An enterprise compensation application enables different users to create corresponding sets of custom filters of interest, and then stores in a non-volatile storage, data indicating the corresponding custom filters created by each user. In response to receiving a request from a user for information related to a set of employees, the application identifies the set of custom filter created by the user (by examining the stored data), presents information related to the requested set of employees and also makes available the identified set of custom filters. On receiving an input indicating that the user has selected a custom filter from the set, the application determines a subset of employee as limited by the selected custom filter and then presents the information related to the subset to the user. Thus, the enterprise compensation application simplifies/supports compensation management for a large number of employees.
