# Query Filter Decision node

Checks if the contents of a user's profile matches a specified query filter.

Use this node to verify whether a particular field has been filled, or that the contents of a field match a specific pattern. For instance, use this in progressive profile flows to check if marketing preferences are set on a user's profile.

For more information on constructing effective query filters, refer to [Construct queries](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingidm/7.4/objects-guide/queries.html#constructing-queries) in the IDM documentation.
