Work with filters

Filtering supports simple and complex conditions using AND or OR logic with nested groups. You can filter on both the default fields created by ​ValidMind and custom fields created by your organization.

Rules

Rules define individual conditions to filter by, such as the business unit or owner.

To add a rule:

1. Click click Add Rule to add a filter condition.

   A filter rule contains three components:

   

Field selector

Dropdown to choose the field type to filter by.

Operator selector

Dropdown to select the comparison operator.

Value editor

Input area that varies based on the selected field type.

2. From the field selector dropdown, select one of:

Model Inventory Filters

• model information — One of the model inventory fields always created by ​ValidMind, such as the Business Unit.
• stakeholders — Owner, Developer, or Validator, or custom stakeholders if applicable.
• model inventory fields — One of the organization-specific model inventory fields you added for your own use.

Artifact Filters

• artifact information — One of the artifact fields always created by ​ValidMind, such as the Business Unit.
• assignees — User assigned to the Validation Issue type artifact.
• artifact fields — One of the organization-specific artifact fields you added for your own use.

3. From the operator dropdown, select one of:
   Available operators update based on the field selector

Operator selector options

Text fields	Date fields	Number fields	Boolean fields	Multi-select fields
equals	equals	equals	equals	in
not equals	not equals	not equals	not equals	not in
contains	before	greater than	is empty	contains
begins with	after	less than	is not empty	is empty
ends with	between	between		is not empty
is empty	is empty	is empty
is not empty	is not empty	is not empty

4. From the value editor, enter or select a value based on the field type:
   Value input changes based on field selector

Text

Text input or text area for longer content

Date

Date picker

Number

Number input or range slider

Boolean

Checkbox

Select/multi-select

Dropdown with search

Entity fields

Dropdown with search for users or models

5. (Optional) Add more rules by following the same steps.

6. Click Apply Filters.

Groups

Groups combine multiple rules that are evaluated together and can be nested one level deep. You use groups for more complex filters, such as Condition A AND (Condition B OR Condition C).

To add a group:

1. Click Add Group to create a nested group of conditions.

2. Follow the same steps as in Rules to add one or several conditions to the group.

3. Click Apply Filters.

Example: Use case is Attrition/Churn Management AND (Business Unit is Commerical Banking OR Business Unit is Retail Banking)

Combinators

Combinators define how multiple rules or groups are logically combined when matching conditions. By default, multiple rules are combined with AND logic, meaning all conditions must match.

Supported combinators:

• AND — All conditions must match
• OR — At least one condition must match

To change the combinator:

1. Click the AND or OR button between rules or groups to change how conditions are combined.

2. Click Apply Filters.

Why can’t I use both AND and OR top-level combinators?

Combinators must evaluate logically for the filter to be applied:

  Show items matching Condition A AND Condition B OR Condition C
  Show items matching Condition A AND (Condition B OR Condition C)

To achive more complex filters, use groups.

View active filters

After applying filters, active filter conditions appear as individual chips next to the label Filtered by:.

• Field names
• Operators
• Values

Remove active filters

Click the icon on any filter chip to remove that specific filter condition. The remaining filters are automatically reapplied.

Examples

Available values depend on your organization’s custom configuration

Simple single rule

Show models where Model Inventory Field: Risk Level is High (requires that you have a custom select field called Risk Level):

1. On the Inventory page, click Filter.

2. Click Add Rule:

   • Field = Model Inventory Field: Risk Level
   • Operator = equals
   • Value = High

3. Click Apply Filters.

Simple AND query

Show models that are Model Stage: In Production AND in Business Unit: Risk Management:

1. On the Inventory page, click Filter.

2. On the Select Your Filters dialog that opens, click Add Rule:

   • Field = Model Stage
   • Operator = in
   • Value = In Production

3. Add another rule:

   • Field = Business Unit
   • Operator = in
   • Value = Risk Management

4. Click Apply Filters.

OR query with groups

Show models that are (Model Stage: In Production AND in Business Unit: Risk Management) OR (Model Stage: In Production AND in Use: Attrition/Churn Management):

1. On the Inventory page, click Filter.

2. Click Add Rule to add your rules:

   1. First rule:
      • Field = Model Stage
      • Operator = in
      • Value = In Production
   2. Second rule:
      • Field = Business Unit
      • Operator = in
      • Value = Risk Management

3. Click Add Group to create a new group:

   1. Change combinator to OR (between the two groups).

   2. In the new group, click Add Rule to add:

      1. First rule:
         • Field = Model Stage
         • Operator = in
         • Value = In Production
      2. Second rule:
         • Field = Use
         • Operator = in
         • Value = Attrition/Churn Management

4. Click Apply Filters.

Complex nested query

Show models where (Model Stage: Active OR In Periodic Review) AND (Risk Level: High OR Medium) AND Owner: John Doe:

1. On the Inventory page, click Filter.

2. Click Add Group to add your groups:

   1. First group:
      • Field = Model Stage
      • Operator = in
      • Value = In Production, In Periodic Review
   2. Second group:
      • Field = Model Inventory Field: Risk Level
      • Operator = equals
      • Value = High, Medium

3. Add Rule to add a rule:

   • Field = Owner
   • Operator = in
   • Value = John Doe

4. Ensure all groups and rules use AND combinator.

5. Click Apply Filters.

Date range filter

Show models implemented between January 1, 2025 and January 31, 2025:

1. On the Inventory page, click Filter.

2. Add Rule:

   • Field = Implementation Date
   • Operator = between.
   1. Enter start date — January 1, 2025
   2. Enter end date — January 31, 2025

3. Click Apply Filters.

Show models owned by a specific user that have .pdf attachments:

1. On the Inventory page, click Filter.

   • Operator = in
   • Value = Select the user from dropdown.

3. Add another rule:

   • Field = Attachments
   • Operator = file name contains
   • Value = .pdf.

4. Ensure the combinator between rules is set to AND.
