Overview of Filters in Siebel Answers

A filter is used to limit the results that appear when a request is run. Based on the filter criteria that you define, Siebel Answers shows only those results that match your criteria.

For example, you may have a request that searches for your clients and their contract amounts. You can use a filter to limit the results of the request so that only the top 10 clients appear in the results.

Together with the columns you select, a filter determines what your results will contain. Filters are applied on a column-level basis. A filter can also combine other filters to further constrain the results of a request. Another kind of filter, called a global filter, applies to all items in a dashboard.
