Selecting the Filter Query Type

When you create a new filter, you need to specify the type of query to use. You can use the Query Builder to define the filter query, or you can write the query SQL yourself. You can also choose to have no query in the filter. You cannot change the query type after the filter has been saved.
This task is a step in the process for creating or modifying a filter.
  1. To select the filter query type
  2. In the Symantec Management Console, on the
    Manage
    menu, click
    Filters
    .
  3. In the left pane, right-click the folder to which you want to add the new filter, and then click
    New > Filter
    .
  4. On the
    New Filter
    page, in the
    Filter Definition
    drop-down list, select the query type that you want to use:
    None
    The filter does not use a query. The inclusions and exclusions of specific resources and filters defines the filter membership.
    Query Builder
    Use the Query Builder to build the filter query. The Query Builder is a user-friendly tool that lets you select the tables and fields that you want to use. It helps you define the query to suit your requirements.
    Raw SQL
    Write your own SQL query. For example, you may want to copy a query from another filter or report and modify it to suit your requirements.
