In the first drop-down menu of the Add Filter section, select the attribute where you want to search.
Select a filter option in the second drop-down menu.
The passes test and fails test options are only available at the export stage and only for active exports. These options let you filter out the values that pass or fail the analyzer test in the selected attribute. Then, in the drop-down menu below, you must choose the analyzer test for that attribute.
In Search term, enter a value you are looking for or use the menu icon to sele from the attribute's values.

Add a filter in an attribute column
Go to Data View from your site's main menu.
Select the relevant stage or export from the drop-down menu in the top ribbon.

In Search term, enter a value or select the menu icon to choose the attribute's value.
If needed, add another value by selecting + Add one more and entering the desired value in the field Or. You can remove the additional value by selecting the delete icon
.

Save filters as segments
You can save your filters as a segment and use them instead of creating the filters again from scratch.
Enter the segment name in the Save as Segment field and select Save.
If you create multiple segments and select more than one segment in Available Segments, these filters work as OR, meaning that Data View displays products that meet any filter in the chosen segments. The same logic persists when you apply a rule box to multiple segments.
See Use segments to apply rule boxes to specific product groups to create, edit, and delete a segment.
