# 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.

4. Click in the field menu (such as **Product**), and select either the **Contains** option or **Doesn’t Contain** option from the drop-down menu.
5. Enter the character or characters to use as a filter.

   To add more filter values for further refinement, click **Add another value** as needed.
6. After you have entered all the values that you need, click **OK** to exit the dialog box.

   After generating, your report displays with the fields matching (or excluding) the specified values.
7. Save your report.

   You can click **Undo** or **Reset** to return to the previous version of the report.
