Use filter in IBM Rational DOORS<sup> TM<\/sup> Classic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Within DOORS<sup>TM<\/sup> Classic, objects can be filtered. For this purpose, various filter options are available. As an example, objects can be filtered by attributes (incl. conditions and values), links, columns and many more. Furthermore, filters can be \u201cnested\u201d by e.g. \u201c<strong>AND\/ OR\u201d<\/strong> functions to increase the scope of the application. Additional conditions like e.g. <strong>\u201cis not equal to, is less than, is greater than or equal to\u201d <\/strong>etc. can help to narrow down the desired filter results. The following example (Picture 1: Simple DOORS<sup>TM<\/sup> Classic filter example) shows a simple DOORS<sup>TM<\/sup> Classic filter which displays only objects whose condition in the attribute \u201c<strong>Compliance Statement Saturn\u201d is equal to \u201cN\/A\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rule of Filter 1:<\/strong> Compliance Statement Saturn == N\/A<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"607\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Picture-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Picture-1.jpg 607w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Picture-1-600x261.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 607px) 100vw, 607px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture 1: Simple DOORS<sup>TM<\/sup> Classic filter example<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same filter can be modified to cover additional properties. Picture 2 shows the previously used simple DOORS<sup>TM<\/sup> Classic filter, expanded by an <strong>AND-function<\/strong>. Here, the <strong>AND-function<\/strong> is \u201c<strong>not empty<\/strong>\u201d for the attribute \u201c<strong>Product Variant<\/strong>\u201d has been added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rule of Filter 2:<\/strong> (Product Variant is not empty) AND (Compliance Statement Saturn == N\/A)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result of the combined and applied filter 2 (see Picture 2: Combined DOORS<sup>TM<\/sup> Classic filter) differs only minimally from the previously used filter 1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Filter 1 &gt; (see Picture 1) <strong>returned three<\/strong> objects as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Filter 2 &gt; (see Picture 2) <strong>returned two<\/strong> objects as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"607\" height=\"327\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Picture-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Picture-2.jpg 607w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Picture-2-600x323.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 607px) 100vw, 607px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture 2: Combined DOORS<sup>TM<\/sup> Classic filter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within DOORS<sup>TM<\/sup> Classic, the last activated filter can be used and \u201csaved\u201d within a view. For example: After activating and closing the filter setting menu, only the last activated filter is displayed within the filter settings (see Picture 3: Filter visualization before and after activating).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"408\" height=\"291\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Picture-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6870\" style=\"width:381px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture 3: Filter visualization before and after activating<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Use filter in Siemens Polarion<sup>TM<\/sup><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Within Siemens Polarion<sup>TM<\/sup>, filter (queries) can be created and used as well to increase the scope of the application and find customized, necessary information. In addition to the table-view in DOORS<sup>TM<\/sup>, Polarion<sup>TM<\/sup> offers the possibility to use filters within the table-\/ or tree &#8211; view as well as within the LiveDoc (text-based-surface). Once activated within a view, the filter remains activated even after changing the view which makes work more comfortable (of course an activated filter can be deactivated at any time). Picture 4 shows a created and activated filter within the Polarion<sup>TM<\/sup> table-view while Picture 5 shows the same (and still activated) view within the Polarion<sup>TM<\/sup> LiveDoc surface (after changing the Polarion<sup>TM<\/sup> surface\/ view from table to LiveDoc). Both examples use the same filtering (combined <strong>AND<\/strong> <strong>filter<\/strong>) as shown before in the DOORS<sup>TM<\/sup> example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Please note:<\/strong> The table\/ tree visualization can be changed by using the \u201cTitle Panes Horizontally\u201d or \u201cTitle Panes Vertically\u201d setting.

This applies to (as mentioned before) for the visualization of different views within Polarion<sup>TM<\/sup>, but also for filtering (or the creation) of Dashboards. Within a table, tree or LiveDoc surface, the activated filter settings can be seen in the header. Picture 6 shows the created <strong>AND filter<\/strong> in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"37\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Picture-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6874\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture 6: Example Polarion<sup>TM<\/sup> Filter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. How to create a filter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a filter within Polarion<sup>TM<\/sup> is very easy. As mentioned before, the creation process is independent from the current surface where you are currently working with. In the following example, we create a <strong>AND filter<\/strong> within the Polarion<sup>TM<\/sup> table view (surface). At the beginning no filter has been created and all items are displayed within the table-view (see Picture 7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Open the table-view<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"607\" height=\"348\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Picture-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Picture-7.jpg 607w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Picture-7-600x344.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 607px) 100vw, 607px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture 7: UAS-module without an activated filter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Filter function<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the filter function via the \u201cplus symbol\u201d (see top menu bar) and search for the attribute\/ field, which has to be filtered (see Picture 8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"545\" height=\"369\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Picture-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6878\" style=\"width:459px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture 8: Open filter menu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> By using the search function, you can reduce the possible attributes\/ fields which can be filtered by typing in the first letters of the attribute\/ field which you want to filter (see Picture 9). Here, we used the letters \u201cprod\u201d to reduce the possible attributes\/ fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"541\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Picture-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6880\" style=\"width:464px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture 9: Using search function<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Select attributes\/ fields<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Select the desired attribute\/ field and the filter condition for filter activation.

How to save a filter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Within Polarion<sup>TM<\/sup>, you can save new- and manage existing filters. You decide if you want to save the filter as (e.g.) a personal custom configuration or as default for all project users etc. (see Picture 12).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"544\" height=\"64\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Picture-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6886\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture 12: Save and manage Queries<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to save a new filter, select \u201c<strong>Save Current Query<\/strong>\u201d and chose a name and type (see Picture 13).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"355\" height=\"221\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Picture-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6888\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture 13: Save Query<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here: The saved (new) <strong>User-filter<\/strong> can now be found within \u201c<strong>My Queries<\/strong>\u201d (see Picture 14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"154\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Picture-14.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6890\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture 14: Query Overview<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By selecting the \u201c<strong>Manage Queries<\/strong>\u201d function, you can modify or delete a previously created filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Polarion<sup>TM<\/sup> offers the opportunity to create and manage filters very easy and quickly. You can create various filters and save them (one or more independent filters) regarding your needs on a global, project or user level. Adjustments or deletion processes can also be carried out easily (appropriate rights provided). Filter can be activated within different views (e.g. LiveDoc or table-view) and remain activated even the visualization is changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Briefly explained: Keep the previous filter methods known from DOORS<sup>TM<\/sup> and extend them with additional functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Save different filters\/ views on same data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use filters within the Polarion<sup>TM<\/sup> LiveDoc, table- and tree surface (as well as Dashboards).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use filters on global, project or user level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use different editing modes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parallel editing inside a view without locking the whole module.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use filters\/ views for data export functions (e.g. WORD<sup>TM<\/sup>, Excel<sup>TM<\/sup>, ReqIF etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Outlook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know: Every filter can be converted into text and copied for reuse. As an example, a copied filter\/ query can be used to modify a dashboard very easily.
