Filters
Filters is a standard configuration interface for adding, editing, and removing the SQL filters used when displaying Events. Users can restrict access to certain filters to a specific User, to the User's Group, to any group or any user. Accessing the event list using defined Filters is done through the Events navigation by expanding the Filters by Group group, then selecting a filter. Users will only see filters that are in the filter group that has been set as the restrictive filter group, as well as any children filter groups and filters. Private filters have the user owner set to a specific user and will show up in a Private Filters group for the user in the Events navigation.
Refer to the Standard Configuration Interface guide for details on interacting with the grid and form.
This user interface calls REST methods from api/event/filters.
The UI path for this interface is Configuration -> Events -> Filters.

Best Practice
- Filters are considered private if User Owner is set to any value other than Public to All Users In Group. Private filters cannot be added to filter groups. If a filter is changed from public to private, it will be removed from all groups.
