You can filter your data by up to three sets of Type/Entity Type filters. In the Type field, select
the Metadata Type on which you want to filter. Next, enter a value in the Value field. Finally,
select the Entity Type to which the filter applies.
For example, if your database has both mobile phones and land-line phones, then perhaps you
might want to display only mobile phones. In other words, you want to filter out everything
except mobile phones:
 in the TYPE field, choose “Type of Phone”
 in the VALUE field, enter: Mobile
 in the ENTITY TYPE field, choose “Phone Number”
In other words, apply the “mobile” type of phone filter against entity types that are phone
numbers.
Using the CONDITION option, you could add a second filter with AND or OR. Perhaps you want
to see fax machines in addition to mobile phones. So, for Condition, choose “OR” and then
 in the TYPE field, choose “Type of Phone”
 in the VALUE field, enter: Facsimile
 in the ENTITY TYPE field, choose “Phone Number”
You can also filter by Topic in this tab. Simply check or uncheck Topic values to create your Topic
filter.
Enabling and Disabling the Entity Filter
To enable your filter, check the [Enable] checkbox. All entities that do not match the criteria you
defined are hidden from view. Uncheck the [Enable] checkbox and all entities reappear.
It is important to note that the filter merely shows and hides entities—it does not delete them
from the graph, nor does it have any impact on the entity saved in the database.
Relationship Filter
Similarly, you can filter out relationships based on a variety of criteria. Click the [Define]
hyperlink and the Define Relationship Filter form appears.
