# Create a string filter on a level

You can filter on a field to match a specified string. In the Filter dialog box, enter the characters that are contained (or absent) in the field you want to use.

Perform the following steps to add a string filter to an Analyzer report:

1. Log in to the User Console, then click **Browse Files** to browse to the location of your Analyzer report and open the report.
2. Click the **Add a Filter** icon, then drag a field from the **Available Fields** panel (or click and drag a field or column from the report) that you want to use as a filter into the filters workspace.

   The Filter dialog box appears.
3. Select the **Match a specific string** option.
