Filters provide a way for the user to quickly find a set of records based on the values of selected attributes. There are two types of filters:

• Column Filters
• Drill-down Filters

Column Filters

Attribute column headers have a column filter icon . Clicking it opens the Filter window, which allows you to specify the criteria for finding records you want to display based on the values of the attribute. If you apply a column filter and it is the only active filter, it will cause the Repository View to list only the records containing that attribute value. For information about the interaction between multiple active filters, see Multiple Filter Interaction

There a number of criteria you can use to filter attribute values, including Equals, Not Equals, Between, In, Is Empty, and Is Not Empty.

If the attribute is a repeatable attribute, Equals will return records that contain the selected value. If the attribute is in the repository's snapshot table, the supported filters are Is Empty, Is Not Empty, and Equals. If it is not in the snapshot table, the supported filter is Equals.

The Filter window also has a look-up function that will display a list of all the attribute's values and the number of times each value appears.

If you apply a column filter and it is the only active filter, it will cause the Repository View to list only the records containing that attribute value. For information about the interaction between multiple active filters, see Multiple Filter Interaction.

Drill-down Filters

Drill-down filters are also referred to as predefined filters. The business administrator selects a set of attributes to be drill-down index attributes. The Filter Sidebar displays a list of the drill-down index attributes. When you expand one of the attributes in the Filter Sidebar, a list of the values that attribute has across all the records in the repository is displayed along with a count of how many records have that attribute value. If a Saved Set is in use in the Repository View, the filter will show attribute values and counts applicable to the Saved Set only.
