From version 8.2, the Step Name filter uses the following operators:

  • "Is null" and "is not null"

  • Enable the "Show unassigned steps" checkbox (11) to show steps that have no assignees.

From version 8.2, the Assignee filter uses the following operators:

  • "Equals" and "not equal to"
  • "Contains" (applied by default)  and "Does not contain"

Regardless of the operator, a multi-select assignee search field will be displayed. "Equals" and "not equal to" will return steps that are (or are not) assigned to ALL of the selected assignees. "Contains" and "does not contain" will return steps that are (or are not) assigned to at least one of the selected Assignees.

Date

  • Select one of the pre-defined date ranges (13). By default, the "All time" value is selected. Select "Empty" to return steps that have no date specified.
  • If "Custom" is selected, the "From" and "To" fields will be displayed (14), allowing dates to be entered.

From version 8.2, the Date filter uses the following operators:

  • "Equals" (applied by default) and "not equal to" (will display a step search field)
  • "Is null" and "is not null"
  • "Less than," "greater than," "less or equal," and "greater or equal"

Instance Status

  • Select an Instance Status, or "All," from the picklist (16).

From version 8.2 , the Instance Status filter uses the following operators:

  • "Starts with," "Contains," and "Does not contain" (will display a text input)
  • "in" and "not in" (will display a set of checkboxes)

Data Source Object fields (from version 8.2):

  • Select the desired Source Object from the filter picklist.
  • Select the desired field from the picklist, as well as an operator.
  • Select or specify the desired value in the appropriate field. These inputs vary depending upon the field type, as indicated in the table in the article about Task Manager filters.
Filter Logic

When multiple filter criteria have been added, they are combined with simple "AND" logic by default. Filtered records will match all filter criteria.

If desired, custom filter logic may be defined. To do this:

  • Click the "Configure Logic" button (17) that will appear after two or more filter criteria have be added. The "Filter Logic" form will be displayed, and each filter criterion will be numbered (18).
  • The default "AND" logic may be modified as needed, using boolean expressions (19) and criteria numbers.
Applying and Managing Filters
  • Click the "Apply" button (20) to apply the defined filter criteria to the dashboard.
  • Click the "Clear" button (21) to remove all filter criteria and reload the dashboard.
  • Click the "Save as" button (22) to save the defined filter criteria as a new Custom Filter. A "New Filter Configuration" (25) popup will appear:

Enter the Title for the new filter.
Enable the Is Default checkbox (26) if this new filter should be applied by default to the Planning Dashboard the next time you open it.
Enable the Is Public checkbox (27) if this new filter should be available for other users to select when they view the Planning Dashboard.

Note: If the filter is set as Public, it cannot be set as Default.

Click the Save button to close the New Filter Configuration popup. The new filter will appear in the list of filters (28) at the top of Dashboard:

When a filter has been selected the "Save" button (23, above) and the "Make Default" button (29) will be enabled in the Filters panel.

If the "Make Default" button is blue, it indicates that the current filter is currently set as the default. If this button is gray, click it to confirm that it should be the default filter (30).

Saved custom filters may be deleted by clicking the "Remove" button (31) next to the filter title in the list.

Confirm your decision in the Filter Deletion popup.

After confirming deletion, the Dashboard will be refreshed and the default filter will be applied. The removed filter will no longer appear in the filters list.

Note: if you delete the default filter, the Dashboard will be refreshed with the system default "All Tasks" filter.
