Defining Advanced Filters
Among other places, filters appear at the top of expanded portlets. Many pre-installed filters come
from driver packages you installed. Filters match vendors and/or entity types, but may not
necessarily make sense in the context of a particular portlet. You can pick filters from already-
configured filters list, or click Advanced and create your own filter.
NOTE:
You can also filter what appears on a page with the Hierarchical View. Select an hierarchy, and the rest
of the portlets on that page confine displayed data to reflect the selected hierarchy’s contents.
Define advanced filters as follows.
1
Select Advanced.
The advanced filter fields and options are displayed.
2
Select an operator (and/or) if combining more than one filter.
3

on page 33 for directions to the screen that catalogs all
