Assigning Filter Query to a Step

To use a filter query, the filter query must be assigned to a step. The following rules apply:

• The drop down list of filter queries will be restricted to filter queries that are defined in the template at a position ahead or above the step being updated.

• Steps can only be associated to Filter Queries that would execute prior to the step being executed.

• Steps cannot be associated to the same Filter Query twice.
