The filter selects or removes events with given values of a selected attribute. It filters events by text, dates, numeric values and more.
Common Uses #
- To select all events where ItemCost value > 800.

- To select all events done by certain Resources.
Settings #
- Attribute: From the dropdown, select the attribute that you want to filter on.
- Compare Type: Chose how you wish to filter. Filter options depend on the type of attribute data (ex.: “activity name†is a text thus you can filter on the names of the activities, while “ItemCost†is a number thus you can filter on the cost value):
| Text | Filter events that contain, start with or end with specific text values. Or select events in which your attribute “is†or “is one of†the available values. |
| Numbers (amounts, durations, etc) | Filter events based on logical operators. For instance, filter out events with item cost of less than $500 or price change of more than $1. |
| Dates | Filter events that happened on a specific date or happened within a certain date range. For advanced date filtering, use Time Period filter. |
| Boolean | Filter events that are either true or false. For instance, select only InvoiceCancelled events. |
