In the Advanced Filters section you can define certain selection criteria that are not based on the timeline (all other fields: drop-down menu, free text, number, etc.).40

Caution: The “equals” and “contains” operators differ as follows:
Equals: performs a character by character check. The field value must be exactly the same as the term of comparison contained in the filter, including upper case and lower case letters.
Contains: this is a less restrictive check than “equals”, where the field value must contain the text string specified in the term of comparison.

Example:In the Filters Based on Reports section you can extend the filter functions by means of a Report (for use of the Report module refer to section 12.1):
