    Using the following example:

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

    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
