Adding an AND Filter Group
An AND filter group is a named set of one or more filters that affect the data output in the Edit ROW Detail grid. Adding an AND filter group produces a subset of records that meet all filter conditions. PCS Axis processes filters in a filter group in descending order beginning with the filter at the top of the filter group.
