Selecting interactive filter criteria

Filters may include restrictions that require entering or selecting criteria when you apply the filter. You are prompted to select information if you apply a filter with interactive restrictions to item lists, generate reports that use the filter, apply views that use the filter, or apply the filter to select items to add to links.

Helix ALM guides you through entering criteria for each interactive restriction. The filter is applied using the information you enter and any non-interactive restrictions in the filter.

Tip:  To make a restriction interactive, select the Prompt for restriction information at run time option when adding or editing the filter. See Adding filters.
