5.15 Using Filters on Teaming Folders

Many types of folders in Novell Teaming provide a filter that helps you quickly sift through information in your folder.

5.15.1 Creating a Filter

In the Filter section, Teaming enables you to create multiple filters in your folder. You can easily apply those filters to help you quickly sift through your entries.

  1. Navigate to the folder where you want to create the filter.

  2. In the Filter section, click Filters.

  3. Click Add a New Filter.

    This form is nearly identical to the one used for advanced searches (see Section 2.5.2, Using Advanced Search for information regarding the various fields in this form).

    In addition to the elements explained in Section 2.5.2, Using Advanced Search, when creating a filter you must consider the following elements:

    Filter Name: Specify a name for the filter.

    Make This Filter Available to Everyone: Select this option if you want the filter to be available to all users who visit the folder. If this option is left unselected, the filter is available only to the user who created it.

  4. Click OK.

5.15.2 Applying an Existing Filter

  1. Navigate to the folder where you have already created the filter that you want to apply.

  2. In the Filter section, click the name of the filter.

    The filter is applied to the folder.

After you apply a filter, items that do not match the filter criteria in that folder are not displayed in the folder listing. To clear the filter, click None in the Filter section.

5.15.3 Modifying a Filter

  1. Navigate to the folder where you want to modify a filter that has already been created.

  2. In the Filter section, click Filters.

  3. In the Personal Filters section, click the drop-down list and select the filter that you want to modify.

  4. Click Modify.

  5. Make the modifications that you desire, then click OK.

5.15.4 Deleting a Filter

  1. Navigate to the folder where you want to delete a filter that has already been created.

  2. In the Filter section, click Filters.

  3. In the Personal Filters section, click the drop-down list and select the filter that you want to delete.

  4. Click Delete, then click OK to confirm that you want to delete the filter.
