Quick Create adds a plus button to a Filament Panel, with a dropdown listing the things a user can create. Wherever they are in the panel, a new record is two clicks away — no navigating to the right resource first.

What appears in the menu

The Quick Create plus button in the panel's top bar, with its dropdown open listing Author, Category, Post, Tag, and User, each with its resource's navigation icon The Quick Create plus button in the panel's top bar, with its dropdown open listing Author, Category, Post, Tag, and User, each with its resource's navigation icon

Every resource registered with the current panel, filtered by two rules:

  1. Authorization. Each resource's canCreate() is checked, so a user who cannot create a record never sees it offered. This is Filament's own authorization — there is nothing extra to configure.
  2. Your own list. You can narrow the set further with excludes or includes.

Entries are labelled with the resource's model label and carry its navigation icon.

Note

When tenancy is enabled and there is no current tenant, the menu lists nothing. It fills in once a tenant is set.

Modal or page

A New post modal opened from Quick Create over the Posts page, with Title, Slug, Published at, and Excerpt fields and Create, Create & create another, and Cancel buttons A New post modal opened from Quick Create over the Posts page, with Title, Slug, Published at, and Excerpt fields and Create, Create & create another, and Cancel buttons

Choosing an entry does one of two things, decided per resource:

  • A resource with a create page navigates to it, the same as clicking through the navigation would.
  • A resource without one opens a create form in a modal, built from the resource's own form schema.

That default suits most panels — heavier resources keep their dedicated page, simple ones stay inline. You can force every resource into a modal if you would rather never leave the current page.

What you can configure

Everything is set with chained methods on the plugin:

  • Resources — which resources appear, and in what order.
  • Appearance — button shape, label, tooltip, and menu icons.
  • Modals — slide-overs, widths, headings, and "create another".
  • Behavior — keyboard shortcuts, render position, and hiding the menu.
