Define custom filters that will appear in the Filter menu of the related module. These filters are module-specific but available to all users (unless restricted in the filter definition).
The example below shows two filters:
§ The "Ban/Watch" filter will appear in the Filter menu in the Subjects grid and will show all subjects who are currently under a ban or watch.
§ The "No Background Check" filter will appear in the Filter menu in the Personnel grid and will show only personnel records where the background check has not been completed.
A global filter can also be used to filter personnel in the iDispatch settings. When you then add an officer on the Manage Officers tab in iDispatch, the Personnel Selector form will only show the personnel who match the filter criteria.

Entry Form, on the General tab, enter a Filter

If you want to restrict the filter to certain users, select one or more
of the remaining fields. In the example above, the Ban/Watch filter will
be visible to all users in the Security department, regardless of their
property group, property, or role.
