This appendix contains details of all the filters supported in ResultsManager Dashboards.
Any specific value associated with a filter can have "NOT " (in capitals, with a following space) placed in front of it to invert the logic. So a Context filter with a value of "Office" would return all activities with this context, and a value of "NOT Office" would return all Activities with any context except Office.
Filter values in the Notes may have a comment appended to them for clarity. Text beginning with "Comment:" is ignored. The default Dashboard templates provided with ResultsManager have comments explaining the action of the filters.
For a description of how dashboards work and how to enter filters, refer to the section on Dashboard Templates and Filters.
