Within
The 'Within' area allows filtering of the To Do List to object instances underneath You can limit search results to those objects found within a specific structure point. To use it, navigate to the object to search within using another gadget (e.g. Browser, History) and click the 'Set' button in the 'Within' areaSelect Set to make a selected object instance the Within structure point.
Filter
By default the To Do list results are modified only by the four settings above. However, there is also an optional Filter drop-down control . As an administrator, it is possible to set up that shows custom search filters defined for the gadget in the current workspace editor for users. For example, a filter could allow the user to filter the To Do List using Object Type, or ask for only objects in events.
Custom filters are set up by specifying an appropriate AQL string in the Workspace Editor. Be careful when writing them not to accidentally disable the 'Within' field: if your AQL doesn't start with something like "FIND BELOW " or "FIND CHILD ", the search will be across all structures rather than below the 'Within' object structure point.
The default choice is "No Filter", and if no filters are defined, this will also be the only choice available.
If a filter is selected , the four basic checkbox options above are automatically disabledignored.
