Set a filter

1. Display the Properties Inspector, depending on where you want to filter a variable or parameter. If you want to filter a variable or parameter in the Properties Inspector, expand the Parameters or Variables section.

2. Select the On/Off Filter icon . A set of filters will display for each of the columns in the section or view that contains the data set you are working with.

3. Select the filter icon directly underneath the column you want to filter and select a filter from the list that displays. When you set a filter, the appropriate icon assigned to the filter will appear underneath the column; for example, if you select Equals, will display. You can set individual filters on multiple columns.

4. Select the filter chevron and select a filter criterion option from the list that displays. If you select Custom, you can create custom, more granular filters to help filter in or out the data you want to display, such as the ability to add conditions, groups, etc. The options in the filter dropdown menu differ depending on the type of filter you selected in step 3.

   

5. Select OK to set a custom filter.

   The data in the columns is filtered based on the defined criteria.
