Use filters

The various filters can be used according to a simple principle. We will demonstrate this in the following using the Date filter.

1. If you have not already selected the Date filter, click the Date button.

The Date filter field appears below the search field in ELO iSearch.

2. Click the arrow icon to the right of the field.

A drop-down menu appears.

Information: The available options vary depending on the filter.

In the drop-down menu, you see a list of time periods as well as options to view a calendar or list of years.

3. Choose a date or a period.

Information: When the user clicks the Select index field filter, the Select index field dialog box appears. Use this dialog box to choose a keywording form and then an index field.

The selected setting appears in the filter field.

The filter becomes active when you start a search.

Alternatively: Click Reset search to filter the search results for a search that has already run.

Combine filters

You can use a combination of filters:

• Several different filters: By combining various filters, you can limit the search results using multiple criteria. This allows you to create precise search requests.
• Multiple filters of one type: Use multiple filters of the same type to expand the filter. For example, multiple Entry type filters allow you to perform a search filtered by multiple entry types.

Negate filters

You can set filters to exclude specific values.

1. Select a filter value.

2. Right-clicking the filter opens its context menu.

3. Check the does not contain box.

The filter is now in is not mode.

Remove filters

To remove the filter, tap the X icon next to the selected filter value.
