Applying Filters from the Process Sidebar

The controls of the sidebar's Filter tab enable you to limit the number of displayed processes based on commonly used criteria. These filters are paired with non-customizable modifiers. For example, the Created filter includes a set of predefined, non-modifiable date ranges. Using the sidebar's Filter tab you can apply the following filters to the processes shown in the Process List:

You can filter the processes by creation date ranges.

The Created filter includes different types such as Today and Last 24 hours. While the Last 24 hours filter displays processes for a 24 hour period, the Today filter displays only those processes created between 12:00am and the current time. You should note that these filters respect the time zone of the local client. This means that if you are working with a coworker in a different time zone, their filtered processes list might be different than yours.

n Depending on the status of the Archived toggle (show active processes or show archived processes), different filters are shown.
You can filter the processes by process groups.
You can apply a life cycle-based filter.

The life cycle-based filter is also available in the toolbar. Both filters are synchronized: when you select a life-cycle status in the sidebar's Filter tab, the corresponding life-cycle icon is automatically selected in the toolbar.
You can apply a system-based filter. This filter includes, for example, the Media Analytics Engine (Media Analytics), Platform Automation (Automation), and Platform Storage Connectors (Storage).
You can filter the processes by the user who created the process. The filter is only visible for administrators and members of a group with enabled Master of Jobs entitlement.
You can filter the processes by its type (Job Kind).
<Custom property filters>: Up to 25 custom properties can be configured to show up as filter options in the Process sidebar. If the custom property is empty for all existing jobs, it will not be shown as filter option.

All filters are cumulative. For example, if you apply a life cycle-based filter and then a group-based filter, the grouped-based filter is applied to the already filtered Processes List.

n Since processes are archived after a configurable time span (48 hours by default) some of the creation date range filters, especially in combination with a life cycle-based filter, might deliver no results. See Viewing Archived Processes .

The sidebar can display up to 10 entries for each filter category by default. In some cases, the app might display a “show more” or “show all” button that allows you to select from additional filter options:

Groups and Creator: Click the "show all" button to open a break-out window that displays all possible filters for the category.
<Custom property filters>: Click the “show <number> more” link that allows you to expand the category directly within the sidebar and show all entries. Once expanded, the link turns to "show less"; clicking on it shows only 10 entries for the category again.

When you apply a filter, the Filter button in the sidebar header and the Applied Filters button are both updated to reflect the total number of applied filters. If you select any filters within a category, a counter appears to the right of the name to identify the number of filters within this category.
