5. To build a filter expression, perform the following steps:
   1. From the Field list, select the field you want to base your query on.
   2. From the Operation list, select an appropriate operation.
   3. From the Value list, select or enter a value corresponding to the field type.
   4. Click the icon.
      The query expression gets added to the top half of the Expression Builder pane.
   5. (Optional). Repeat the steps a-d for adding another expression. By default, all clauses are joined by an AND operator. So when you add 2 expressions, results are shown only if both are true.
      Note: The Filter Builder only supports the AND operator to join two or more clauses.
   6. Click OK.
      This query is saved but not executed.
