Generating Process Filters

You are able to create private or global filters to search for specific processes. When creating a new filter, you must use a unique name.

To generate process filters:

  2. In the Navigation tree, click the Filters tab.
  3. Right-click in the tab and select New.

The New Filter (Process) dialog appears.

  1. In the Name text field, type in a unique name. Filter names have a maximum of 100 characters. Special characters are allowed, and you can include numbers in your filter names.
  2. In the Description text field, type in a description identifying the filter. Descriptions have a maximum of 256 characters. Special characters are allowed, and you can include numbers in descriptions.
  3. To add attributes and columns to the Filters pane, double-click on the attribute or column in the Navigation tree or use the drag-and-drop operation. When using the drag-and-drop method, you will need to place the attribute or column on the Filters tree.
