    Info

    Using the following example:

    Filter 1Last Name equals Jones
    Filter 2Last Activity less than 2014-06-19
    Filter 3Department equals Sales

    the default filter logic returns customers whose details match all of the criteria.

    A filter logic of '((1 OR 2) AND 3)' returns the following customers:

    Customers whose last name is Jones OR whose record was last modified before 19th June 2014
    AND
    who are in the Sales department

    For information about using date fields, see Filtering by date.
