Build a custom filter

A custom filter combines several conditions to find specific data, such as all Windows desktops for one customer. Each condition has a field, an operator and a value. You can put conditions into groups and join them with And or Or. After you apply the filter, you can export the results or save them in a view.

For the full list of operators and worked examples, see Custom filter operators and examples.
