3. Select Update to update the filter configuration properties. The new filter name appears to the top left of the configuration details for the filter.

Add Filter Conditions

Your filter is made up of different conditions, combined together using logical operators. By repeatedly adding conditions and logical operators, you cumulatively build up the conditions of the entire filter.
