Creating Search Filters

Search filters are a series of filters that you can apply to messages. Plan and think about your company's message requirements and determine which search filters you want to create and use. It's important to test the search filters to ensure you are getting the correct results, and then save for optimal use.

Note: Search filters are auto saved or can be manually saved.
