When viewing your System data, you might want to view a subset of items in your Project. With large quantities of data, filtering techniques enable you to display only those items that are of interest to you. Filters can be applied not only for viewing purposes but also prior to running calculations and generating reports and graphs.

Filters enable you to view items matching a certain parameter or multiple parameters, find a specific item or set of items based on a parameter entered “on the fly,” and even sort items. It is helpful to experiment with the filtering features.

Windchill Risk and Reliability supports both fixed-value filters and parameterized filters. When you create a parameterized filter, you must supply a parameter value when the filter is applied. You can also build filters with multiple parameters. When building a parameterized filter, be aware that the request for a parameter value occurs whenever the filter is used, even during report or graph generation.
