Setting a filter causes the Process History View application to show the items for which the filter is set. For example if you filter on Event Type / Status, only Status events display in the Event Type list.
To quickly set a filter without opening the Edit Filters dialog, right-click the cell in the events grid for which you want to set a filter and select the Filter on command. For example to set a filter on the Event Type CHANGE, right-click CHANGE in the events grid and select Filter on CHANGE.
For more information about the fields in the Edit Filters dialog, refer to the context-sensitive help.
