How to filter records

Filter the records of a data group to find the records of interest. You can filter records by the columns of the data group and have multiple filters. You can also filter records by Error Text and Error Number to find records with errors. For example, filter by error text contains CHESSN, to view all records with an error or warning related to CHESSN allocations.

For example, image Filters shows how multiple filters are listed horizontally across the screen. However, if all the filters do not fit horizontally, the number of additional filters are indicated by +1, where the number indicates the number of hidden filters. You can select +1 to display the hidden filters. Note that >+1 then changes to Show Less, which returns to the single-line view.
