In some filters, you will be able to use a subfilter to further narrow down results. When a subfilter is available, a small down arrow is displayed in the top right hand corner of the filter's header. A subfilter allows you to view all objects that are related to the selected object within another related filter. To use subfilters:
- In a filter results list, select an object that you would like to view all related objects for.
- Click the down arrow on the filter's header. When the arrow is hovered over a tooltip displaying Execute Subfilter: Filter Name identifies the filter that will be executed when the arrow is clicked upon.
- A new filter will display all objects that are related to the selected object.
- Repeat steps 1 to 3 for each subfilter you would like to use.
Any time that an object selected is unrelated to the first object selection, all of the subfilters will clear.
Only two filters can be displayed at once. If more than two filters are used to display a set of objects, the additional filters that are above the displayed filters in the subfilter hierarchy will collapse. The collapsed filters can be accessed at any time by clicking on the small left arrow in the upper right hand corner of the filter's header.
In the following example, a Employees filter has been accessed. An employee was selected and the subfilter (Issues) was launched, displaying all of the issues associated with the employee.
