Enhanced Filtering and Display Options in Slack Channel Settings

Hi Team,

It would be very helpful to have additional features in the Slack channel settings to improve navigation and usability. We currently have 10 500+ channels and we can't work on them to delete or clean as it is

Currently available options:

  • Filter alphabetically by name

  • Filter by Oldest first (ascending) or Newest first (descending)

  • Use the search bar for names

  • Delete 1 or multiple channels at the same time

Requested enhancements:

  • Ability to filter by inbox

  • Ability to filter by date using a calendar (scrolling through long lists takes significant time)

  • Ability to filter with multiple variables (inbox, date, name)

  • Display the total channel count

  • Improve the search function to ignore special characters such as “-” and “_”

  • Display both the custom name and the Slack channel name simultaneously

  • Ability to move multiple channels at the same time (now we have to select the channels 1 by 1, go to that channel's routing, then edit default inbox and save)

These changes would make it much easier to manage and locate specific channels, especially for teams handling a large number of them.

Thank you for considering this improvement.
