Filtering Problems

Filter

You can filter problems to limit the view to a subset of only those problems that are of immediate interest. This feature is generally used when the workspaces has too many problems to view them all effectively.

Note:  All problems recognized by the PDT can be enabled/disabled. Filtering enables you to view a user-defined subset.

1. Click on the Filter icon on the Problems View tab. The Problems Filter will open.
