Example Filter
In this example, Source is the filter selected and Keyboard has been selected as the sub option. We have also elected to search for the Phrase ‘our secret’ as well.
This will display all keyboard only captures for this phrase once the filter has been set to Active. More criteria can be added by choosing options and entering the relevant information.
For example, a category can be chosen to display keyboard captures from one or several categories, further narrowing the capture search.
Excluding Results
It is also possible to filter out settings by de-selecting the Include button.
The option will change to say Exclude and will filter out any results based on what was deselected.
For the above example, we have excluded the phrase ‘our secret’ from the filter which will remove any results for that phrase from the current view.
This can be done for most of the filter options.
