Filtering search results

You can filter search results to see a shorter list of the same type of records or to find a different set of results. For example, if the current search displays only open tickets, and you set up a filter to show only high priority tickets, the list will refresh to show open tickets with high priority.

If your filter criteria contradict the original search criteria, the filter is applied but no tickets are shown. For example, if the current search found only open tickets and you define the filter to display only closed tickets, the result is no matches. When you perform a new search, the filter is cleared. You can also clear a filter.

Your filter settings are saved when you log out, or until you select new filters.
