Base Filter

The Base Filter controls which items are eligible to appear on a view. It works across all items in the story, including any external items brought in via the Enterprise Filter.

Unlike the Enterprise Filter, which can add items to a view, the Base Filter always reduces the number of items shown.

The diagram illustrates how filtering is applied:

• Enterprise Filter adds items

• Base Filter refines and reduces items

• Interactive Filter further narrows visible items

Using Multiple Filters

You can add multiple filters to create more flexible logic:

This allows combinations not possible with Interactive Filters alone.
