How To Create & Edit A Filter In SAP

Filters are essentially "Reports" but without joined data sources, are unable to be downloaded to your machine, and are personalized to you only so you are unable to share the results with someone else.

Filters are best used when you are creating a "Workflow" for yourself.

This example will walk you through how to set up an "Email and Fax" queue filter.

Step 1 - log into SAP and click into your work center. In this example, the Example and Fax Queue.

Step 2 - click the "Filter" icon at the far right. It now opens up data to pick from. In this case, we'll pick "Error" as the Output Status and we'll choose the dates.

Now the table below automatically populates with the filtered data.

Step 3 - It's recommended if you are going to use a filter more than once, that you then save this filter using the ("Save Query"), to run on selection, and it will put it in the dropdown box above, and if you choose "Use As Default Query" then it will automatically select this and run it the moment you click "Email And Fax Queue" workcenter.

That's it! You've now created a filter and made it so it runs on selection of the "Email and Queue" work center.
