Advanced Search Filter Options

Click the Advanced link under the Search Filter box to specify search operators (AND and OR) for the conditions and to group conditions by using parentheses to set a sequence for evaluating conditions.

The following advanced options are available:

Option Description
AND Select a condition, and then click AND to include it with the preceding condition. The AND operator returns all items that meet all conditions defined in the search parameters. For example, the conditions "Owner in Joe Manager" AND "State in New" return all items that are in the "New" state AND are owned by Joe Manager.
OR Select a condition, and then click OR to include it with the preceding condition. The OR operator returns any items that meet the conditions defined in the search parameters. For example, the conditions "Owner in Joe Manager" OR "State in New" return any items that are in the "New" state or are owned by Joe Manager.
Note: The last operator you select is remembered. For example, if you select the OR operator for a condition, OR is selected by default until you select the AND operator.
Add Opening Parenthesis (+ Select a condition, and then click the Add Opening Parenthesis button to begin a sequence for evaluating conditions. The opening parenthesis is always added after the AND or OR operator.
