Filter Criteria

Openspace allows you to configure filter criteria for either/or work items in your work list or work views. This allows you to filter the list of work items in your work list or work view so that only some of the work items are shown, rather than all of them. Filtering allows you to display only the work items you are interested in. For example, you may only be interested in work items that arrived in the work item list after Dec. 15, 2007. You can filter the list so that only those work items are shown.

You can filter on all the available work item columns and their data types. See Work Item Columns for more information.
Note: You cannot use wild card characters when specifying filter criteria in the Work View gadget.

You can configure filter criteria in two ways:

  • To configure filter criteria for your work list, click The filter icon is a funnel. See Configure the Work View Filter for information on how to complete the dialog.
  • To configure filter criteria for a work view, use the Filter dialog in the Create new view wizard to build a filter expression that is applied to all work items in the work view. See Configure the Work View Filter for more information.
