Filter Data

This feature enables you to display only data that meets the filter requirements. Filter and sorting options are available in the bar directly below the title bar of the table. When a table is filtered, the filter is displayed in the title bar of the table.

1. Click Manage Filter.
2. If there are no filter criteria set, click Add filter criteria.
3. Select the column you want to filter.

   Most columns are available for filtering. If however, a column is not available for filtering it is because filtering by that column would cause some unexpected and potentially confusing results.

   
   A drop down list containing the name of the column selected and all other available columns appears. Use this list to select a different column by which to filter.
   
4. Select a method of filtering from the drop down list. The methods vary depending on the column you chose.
5. If there is a text box, enter the letters or numbers on which to filter. If there is a drop down, select by what to filter the list.
6. Click Add to filter.
7. Click Add filter criteria to add more filters or click Remove to remove a filter.
8. Once all desired filters are added, select Bookmark the filters on this page. This means the Bookmark or Favorites feature of the browser can return to a specific filtered page.

   Google Chrome browsers do not support the bookmarking functionality. Chrome users will receive a warning message when they attempt to bookmark a filtered table.

9. Click Close and apply to close the filter pane and apply the filter(s) to the table.

When a filter is applied to a table, it is saved so that filter is automatically applied each time you return to view that table.

This occurs even when filters are applied automatically, as described below.

Automatic Filters

If you navigate to a list from a link displayed in another list, the list you navigate to may be automatically filtered by the criteria you selected in the list you were navigating from.
