Overview
The Filter Query can be found on the Downloadable Reports page, as well as at the top of several modules' home pages in classic mode.
Basic Filter
Type any word or phrase in the text search and you’ll get results based on all selected object fields. For example, the phrase login access returns all objects that contain the phrase in all selected fields (and code, description, notes,...) The indicator to the right of the search box will remain grey if you are in basic search mode. If it turns green, that means you’ve created a valid advanced filter expression.
Advanced Filter Functions
You can construct more thorough filter expressions by using some special keywords and tree column titles.
| Keyword | Meaning | Examples | Filter results |
|---|---|---|---|
| ~ | contains | ~ "login access" | All objects containing phrase login access anywhere in object attributes |
| ~ something | |||

Gotcha’s
- You can also use parentheses to create more complex searches like here: (title ~ PCI OR title ~ ISO) AND description ~ “needs to be”
- Filters are case insensitive (example:title is the same as Title or TITLE)
- AND has precedence over OR
- Every time space (“ “) character is part of search phrase or filter expression you need to use quotes (“modified date” > 03/03/2015 AND “control title” ~ PCI)
- Compatible date formats are MM/DD/YYYY and YYYY-MM-DD
