List Filters

The Peer Management Center provides the ability to filter lists throughout the Peer Management Center interface.  List filters can help you quickly find jobs, Agents, and sort through summary reports

To use a list filter, enter a filter expression in the filter expression box.  The search results of your filter are displayed in the window below the expression.

You can save the list filters and reuse them.  For more information, see Saving and Managing List Filters.  This is useful when you frequently use the same list filter or when you create complex list filters.

Use the Ctrl + Space keyboard shortcut to list all possible list filters and predefined labels, which can be selected to refine your search quickly.

Basic Filter Expressions

The simplest filter expressions contain words you are looking for.  For example, to find all items related to sales, simply type the word sales in the filter expression box.  All items from the list that contain the word sales in their name, tag names, or tag categories will be displayed and all other items will be hidden.  The agent attribute fields (see attr below) are not included in generic searches.

If you want an exact word match or the words contain a space, enclose the terms in double quotes.  For example, if you want to search for the words North America, the two words must be contained in double quotes.  If you want to search for the word agent only without showing USAgent or Agent2015 in results, the word agent must be contained in double quotes.

For information about creating more complex filter expressions using operators and labels, see Creating Complex Filter Expressions.

Predefined List Filters
