Filter Tab

Use this article to learn how to apply and save filters to the Xyicons tab ( ) and Boundaries tab ( ) in the Space Editor. To learn more about building filters read the Using Filters help article.

The Filter Tab is mainly used in the Space Editor view. Activating a filter changes the display of xyicons and boundaries accordingly within the selected Space Editor view, so the xyicon and boundary lists may vary based on the applied filters.

Before you begin

• Ensure that your objects in the Space Editor have values for their respective fields.
• Verify your Xyicon User has the necessary permissions to access the Space Editor.

Permissions are managed by your organization's Xyicon Administrator.
