Overview
One of the typical elements on most Birdview PSA screens is a filter. It is a handy tool in database management as it allows narrowing or widening, as appropriate, the scope of search while looking for a record or a group of records. Filters in Birdview PSA enable you to find an item quickly and effortlessly. All you need to do is to define a scope of your search.
By selecting values in various filter fields, as well as choosing the appropriate radio button, you are able to specify a scope of search which would meet your needs.
