Filtering is a way to limit the number of lineitems line items shown in the list. At any given point the database contains potentially thousands of records of lineitems line items so in order to make tracking more efficient, it is necessary to apply one or more filters to make it easier to find the right lineitemsline items.

Filters can be very simple, ie. to show lineitems line items with a certain status. They can also be extended to include two or even more parameters such as linetimes with a certain status and a deadline tomorrow.
...
So in a human language at statement like “show me all lineitems line items that have the status “booked” would translate into filter lingo as “Status equals Booked”.
Extending the statement to “show me all lineitems line items that have the status “booked and the deadline is tomorrow” would, in filter terms, look something like “Status equals Booked” AND “Deadline is tomorrow”.
...
The last sentence above is an example of a filter that combines to individual statements. In this case the connector is the “AND” meaning that both filters apply to the lineitems line items shown in the list.
It is also possible to define a filter where either the first “OR” the second statement apply to the found lineitemsline items. “AND” and “OR” are the so-called logical operators that define how filters can be combined.
...
Filters can be saved, modified and shared with member of other groups. This is handy if you have created a great filter that more users will need. We’ll discuss how filters are saved and shared below.

INFO: If you use multiple advanced searches they are applied with an “AND” operator between them. Therefore it is only possible to add one specific advanced search pr. workspace. If you want to use “OR” as an operator you have to create a saved filter for this purpose. |
Saved filters ( blue

chip )
A saved filter is shown in the search bar as a blue chip and can contain a combination of multiple advanced searches. This can be a benefit when ie. filtering doesn’t take to much space up in the search bar and/or they can contain complex conditions by using “OR” as an logical operator instead of the default “AND”.
