Build Power Filters

A power filter is a custom filter that you create to search the list by criteria you define. Power filters can be used alone or can work in conjunction with the other filter fields on the page. Saved power filters appear in the list of filters and can be reused at any time.

You will design and build your power filter using an expression, usually in two parts. The following procedure explains how to create a power filter.

1. Open a list page, and in the filter section of the page, next to Power Filter, click the [Build Power Filter] link.

   The Power Filter page appears.

2. Build the first part of the expression by completing the following fields:

   Object

   Select the type of object for which you want to filter. The page refreshes.

   Field

   Select the field you want to display in the Filter section. For this example, choose Active. The page refreshes.

4. To build the second part of the expression, complete the following fields:

   And/Or

   Choose whether you want the second half of the expression to be an either/or equation (in which case, you would choose Or), or an equation with multiple clauses (in which case, you would choose And). For this example, choose And.
