So right now it's inclusive, is there any way to exclude a field? Like for example, show we all open cases not on hold. Or show me all open cases not assigned to this user. I've done a search where I have to include every status but hold, its very tedious...

Thanks. Ross

Just put a "-" in front of the search axis. I don't know what you mean by "not on hold". Is this some custom status you have defined? For this example, I'll assume it is. To exclude cases with this status, add the following to the search box of your filter:

-Status:"not on hold"

To exclude a user named John Doe from your filter, add this:

-AssignedTo:"John Doe"

Thanks! It would be great if Filters let us do that... Anyway, is there a way get all Active cases in the search, so I can then exclude -Status:"Hold" on? – Ross R Jul 20 2010 at 17:35

@Ross: Filters do let you do that. The Search for: field is part of every filter definition. To find Active case that are not on hold, create a new filter, enter -Status:"Hold" in the Search for: field, and then set the Status: field appropriately. – Greg Saven♦ Jul 20 2010 at 17:46

Can you exclude something from a search or filter?
