Not equal to (!=).
Contains to match a field on partial text. For example, you can add Business and pick up fields with Business Processes, Business Policies, and Business Unit.

Value are selections to filter by. Values can be a date, free text, or driven by Reference Codes. See Configuring categories, values, and attributes.
-
Logic defines how fields work together. Available selections are based on the work you are performing.
-
“And” logic means all fields/conditions/values must be met (for example, field 1 AND field 2).
-
“Or” logic means at least one field/condition/value must be met (for example, field 1 OR field 2)

“Not” logic is opposite of “And” (for example, field 1 only. If field 1 and field 2, then ignore).
