# Filter search

Use the filter panel to refine the content list based on specific criteria. When you select filter criteria, the content list displays only the data items matching the criteria; when multiple filter criterion are selected, you will only see those that match all of the selections.

Filters build on top of each other. Each separate filter criterion that you select is added to the selected criteria as an AND clause. Within a specific filter criterion, each of the selected values has an OR relationship to the other values.

Example

From the Account criterion, you select John Q. Smith, and then select several file types (TXT, DOC, and XLS) from the File Type criterion.

The content list contains only the file types of TXT, DOC, or XLS where John Q. Smith is the associated user account.

As you add criteria to the filter, the content list updates dynamically so that you can see the results immediately. The criteria you select are shown at the top of the filter pane in the Filters section and can be removed individually as desired.

- Click the remove button (X) next to the selected criterion to remove it from the filter.

- Click the clear all button () to clear all selected criteria and return to the full list of data items.

If you make no selections in the filter panel, the content list reflects all data items within the context of the workspace, workbook or search as identified in the VIEWING box at the top of the filter panel.

Filter criteria

TIP: For filter criteria sections that include a list of criterion, the top seven criterion are listed in descending order according to the number of data items associated with each. If there is also a Find x field, more than seven criterion are available. Type the desired criterion in the field. As you type, criterion matching your entry display; click the desired criterion to add it to the filter.

The data item counts that display next to each criterion value are rounded numbers and may not represent the actual number of items.

Criterion sections that have no matching data items are dimmed.
