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 .

For example, a filter could allow the user to filter the To Do List using Object Type, or ask for only objects in eventssearch only for objects in Event structures.
Custom filters are set up by specifying an appropriate AQL string in the Workspace Editor. Be careful when writing them use Agility Query Language (AQL) queries, defined in the gadget's configuration. See A Guide to the Agility Query Language (AQL) for more information on AQL.
