Complex filter

Press the Filter button in the top right corner of the view. The following dialog appears:

 

Filter

 

Initially the filter is not active and has no rules. As soon as you start entering rules the status will be changed to active.

 

Press the first combo box to select the property you want to filter on. Depending on the type of this property the second combo box will be filled with the possible operators and (optionally) the third combo or edit box will appear where you can enter the value to compare. This behaviour is summarized in the table below. <Work item> stays here for the actual work item name of the opened teamboard configured on the Generic page.

Press the Add button to add a new rule to the filter. A combo box with two logical operators and and or will appear in front of the second rule and the next ones.

 

ComplexFilter

 

Note that we do not use parentheses here, so the common rule applies that the logical operator and is evaluated first. For example, A or B and C will be evaluated as A or (B and C).

 

Press the red cross button to delete a rule.

Press the Enable button to make the filter active.

Press the Disable button to deactivate the filter.

Press the Apply button to close the filter dialog and apply the required filter to the work views.

 

The rules that are not fully specified will be ignored, for example if you do not provide a date for 'is date' operator.
