Defining a Filter for a View

The filter settings for a view use the same filters that are used for searches. With the settings, you can specify the conditions to use for the view. You can specify criteria on the Status, Properties, Files and Permissions tabs of the Define Filter dialog.

For more information about the available search filters, see Status-Based Conditions, Property-Based Conditions, File Information Based Conditions, and Permissions-Based Conditions.
