        Hover over the Search where text to see the filter that is currently applied to the list.

     

     To clear the currently applied filter (for the current session only) and start over, click the Clear Filter link label. The search bar displays in blue when filters are applied and in gray when filters are cleared.

     

     1. Make a selection in the first dropdown menu.
     2. The choices available in the second dropdown menu vary, depending on your selection in the first dropdown menu:
     • Equals: Enter the search criterion (e.g., the full description) in the field to the right, or select a date from the dropdown calendar (if applicable).
     • Contains: Enter at least one character of the search criterion (e.g., part of the description) in the field to the right.
     • Within Range: Search between two calendar dates. Click the down arrow to the right of each field to choose dates from the dropdown calendars.

     3. Click Find to apply the filter. Hover over the Search where text to see the filter that is currently applied to the list.
        
        To clear the currently applied filter (for the current session only) and start over, click the Clear Filter link label. The search bar displays in blue when filters are applied and in gray when filters are cleared.
