Creating a Result Filter

Result filters reduce the amount of data that displays in the Result window and help you quickly find important results. Once you have set up a filter, apply it by selecting it from the Filters list.

  1. Open a result.
  2. Click Manage Filter on the toolbar. The Manage Filters dialog box opens.
  3. Click New. The New Filter dialog box opens with the General tab selected by default.
  4. In the Name text box, type the name for the filter. This is the name that appears in the Filter list on the toolbar.
  5. Optional: In the Description text box, enter a description about the use of this filter.
  6. Select a filter type.
    • Select Personal to make this filter available to the current user only.
    • Select Public to make this filter available to all users.
  7. In the Filter by section of the dialog box, select one of the following options from the Results list:
    All

    Displays all the steps in a visual test or code lines in a script.

    Failed

    Displays only those steps or code lines that have not executed successfully.

    Passed

    Displays only those steps or code lines that have executed successfully.

  8. Select a Date/Time option.
    • Select Any to view result data that occurred at any time of any day.
    • To view result data that occurred during a specific time or day, select From and specify the desired date and time range.
  9. Select a Users option.
    • Select All to view result data created by all users.
    • Select Selected, and then select the desired users to view result data created only by the selected users.
  10. Optional: Check the Only show steps with flags assigned check box to filter out all result data that does not have an assigned flag.
  11. To create a more precise filter, click the Advanced tab, and then select only the desired verifications to include in the filter. By default, Silk Test Workbench includes all verifications in the filter.

    In the left pane, numbers that display in parentheses after a command type refer to the number of selected commands out of the total number of commands available. For example, Verifications (3/7) means that you selected three verification types out of seven verification types available. Additionally, a bold check indicates that all commands are selected for a given command type. Depending on your operating system settings, a square inside the check box or disabled check indicates a partial selection of commands for a given command type.

  12. Click OK. The Manage Filters dialog box opens.
  13. To apply the filter to the active Result window, select the filter, click Apply and OK.
  14. Click Close.
