Introduction

The filters let you control the information displayed in the Request List and can be used to quickly locate requests. The options for filtering are represented by a number of buttons in the Request List Toolbar. The active filter can be determined by which filter buttons are colored grey.

Status Filter

Links are available for the different statuses

  • Total
  • New
  • Open
  • Resolved
  • On-hold

Quick Filter

The quick filter is used to refine your list to only show requests that contain the typed text. The fields in the requests which the quick filter used to compare include

  • Reference
  • Summary
  • Details
  • Status
  • Owner
  • Customer

Request Type Filters

The Request Type Filters options are represented by the icons that are associated to each request type.

The available request types include incidents, problems, known errors, changes, and service requests. Depending on the rights that the user has they may see one or more of these request types. Provided that the user has more than one request type available to them they will also see an 'All' option which will display all requests, independent of the type, in one list.

Group Filters

The Group Filters provide quick access to requests based on the relationship to you or by the teams that you belong to.

  • My Requests - Displays requests where you are the owner
  • I'm Following - Displays requests that you are following
  • I'm a Member - Displays requests that I'm a member of
  • All My Teams - Displays requests belonging to all of my teams

Included on this list are the names of all the teams that you belong to. Selecting one of the teams in the list will display requests that are assigned to that team.
