# Custom Operators

The `Filter` gives you the freedom to modify the different Filter operators. When you need to change the name of a given `Filter` operator or when you don't need all default operators available of given data type, you can just define what you need.

The below example demonstrates two approaches for re-definition of the default operators. The first uses the [`Operator` object](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/datatools/api/operators) provided by the `@progress/kendo-vue-data-tools` package and the other uses hard-coded operators.
