Filter Functionality in Zymmr

Overview

The filter functionality in Zymmr is a powerful tool that allows you to refine your views by creating, saving, and managing complex queries. By combining multiple conditions using various operators, you can precisely target the work items you need to see.

Adding a Filter

1. Locate the filter controls on the page you wish to filter (e.g., the Project Backlog or Work Items list).
2. Choose a Field: Select the attribute you want to filter by (e.g., Workflow State, Project, Priority).
3. Select an Operator: Choose the comparison operator that fits your needs (e.g., Equals, In, Like).
4. Enter a Value: Input or select the value to complete the condition.
5. Add Multiple Conditions: Click the "Add Condition" button and repeat the steps. Conditions are combined using the AND operator to narrow down your results.

Saving a Filter

For complex queries you use frequently, you can save them for quick access later.

1. Set Filter Conditions: Build your desired filter query as described above.
2. Click the Save Filter button.
3. In the popup window, enter a descriptive name for your filter (e.g., "My Open High Priority Tasks") and click Save.

Clearing a Filter

To remove all active filter conditions and return to the default, unfiltered view, simply click the Clear Filter button.
