Accessing the Filter Function

The filter function for event lists can be accessed either from the view definition, or from the list itself.

  • From the view definition - When you are creating or editing an event view using the view wizard, a Filter dialog is displayed from which you can filter the contents of the view (for information about creating/editing views, see Event Views. Note that if you specify a filter in this way, it becomes the base filter for the view — for more information, see Base Filters and Refined Filters.
  • From the event list itself - Click on the button, or select Filter from the View menu on the event list. Note that if you specify a filter in this way, it is considered a refined filter for the view — for more information, see Base Filters and Refined Filters.
