| Using filtersTo display a specific subset of records in an overview session,
you can define a filter and apply the filter to the session. You can also
define a sort order for the filtered records. For more information, refer to Overview of filters. Note If the Filter button is not available, you
cannot apply a filter to the session. Defining a filter - In a session, click the button.

- Type a name for the filter in the Filter Name field.

- In the Field Name field, select the field for
which you want to specify a condition. You can only select a field that is
visible on the current tab of the overview session.

- In the Value field, enter the value to which
you want to compare the contents of the selected field. If the possible values
of the field are predefined, you can press CTRL+B to select a value.
If the value is alphanumeric, you must enter uppercase and
lowercase characters exactly as they appear in the overview session. Repeat steps 4 to 7 for every condition of the filter. If you
want to save the filter for future use, click Save. On the appropriate menu of the Filters (ttadv9593m000) session,

- Repeat steps 2 and 3 to specify subsequent sort fields. LN sorts the records in
the order of the first field and within that list, in the order of the second
field, and so on.

If you apply the filter, LN sorts the records in
the specified order. Note If there are many records, sorting the records can take some
