Use filter options and create user-defined filters

Use filters to restrict the number of objects displayed in lists and evaluations. Evaluations do not provide all filter options. Save filter configurations for reuse by creating your individual default filter, for example. The following procedure relates to lists.

Procedure. Procedure

  1. Open the relevant list. The initial filter options are displayed.

    List filter

    In the upper left corner of the filter area the name of the filter in use is displayed. The filter that is specified as default filter is marked with an asterisk (*). Some lists are prefiltered by default. In this case, the filter attributes in use are displayed next to the search field. (See example above.)

  2. To filter the list by a keyword, enter it into the field, then press Return to apply the filter. The filtering is case-sensitive. Only text of the ID and environment column as well as text from free text attributes is considered. To discard the filter result and redisplay the full list, remove the keyword, then press Return to reset the filter.
