Applying Filters
The controls of the Filter bar allow you to apply filters to the processes shown in the Process List.
• You can apply a text-based filter.
• You can apply a life cycle-based filter.
• You can filter the processes by creation time ranges.
• You can apply a top-level filter.
All filters are cumulative. For example, if you apply a life cycle-based filter and then a group-based filter, the grouped-based filter is applied to the already filtered Processes List. Each filter is saved with the dashboard context and persists from one session to another.
To apply a text filter:
To show only processes in the Process List that contain a specific keyword, type a search string in the Quick Search box.
As you type, a “contains” search is conducted in the displayed fields of the Process List.
To apply a life-cycle filter:
To hide processes of a specific life cycle, click an orange life-cycle button so it turns gray.
To show processes of a specific life cycle, click a gray life-cycle button so it turns orange.
The following table describes the life-cycle buttons.
Button | Life-cycle |
| If the “Pending” button is toggled on, processes that are not yet started are shown. |
| If the “Running” button is toggled on, started processes are shown. |
| If the “Finished” button is toggled on, successfully completed processes are shown. |
| If the “Error” button is toggled on, failed processes are shown. |
To apply a top-level filter:
To show only top-level processes, click the gray Top Level Filter button so it turns orange.
The Process List shows only processes that have no parent process.
To show processes of all hierarchy levels, click the orange Top Level Filter button so it turns gray.
To apply a creation time filter:
Click the Creation Time list and select one of the time ranges:
- any (disables creation time filtering, default value)
- last hour
- last 12 hours
- today
- this week (Monday through today)
The Process List is updated and shows the processes that have been created during the selected time range.
