Filtering is a feature that allows the owner to identify subsets of information on the myMAPP screens. This feature is available below column headings on the Messages, Entries, Views and Reflections screens. To apply a filter:

1. Click on Entries (or Messages, Views or Reflections) in the Navigational Panel.
2. Locate the column where the filter will be applied.
3. Type the word selected for filtering the column into the empty box just below the column title. (i.e. Type Teaching under the column title Area.)
4. Click the Filter option or press ENTER. Those items with the chosen filter word in the title will be displayed.

Using nested filters to locate subsets of information

This feature allows the owner to locate subsets of items within subsets. For example, to locate all teaching entries performed in 2007, the owner could click Entries in the Navigational Panel; use the word “teaching” to filter entries in the Area column followed by filtering for “2007“ in the Performed column. To apply nested filters:

1. Click on Entries (or Messages, Views or Reflections) in the Navigational Panel.
2. Locate the column where the filter will be applied.
3. Type the word selected for filtering the column into the empty box just below the column title. (i.e. Type Teaching under the column title Area.)
4. Click the Filter option or press ENTER.
5. Those items with the chosen filter word in the title will be displayed.
6. Click inside the empty box under another column and type the word by which that column is to be filtered.
7. Click the Filter option or press ENTER. Note: the second filter does not replace the first filter but functions within it.
8. Those items from the first filtered list that also contain the second filter word will be displayed.
