        • And requires that all filter conditions must be met.

        • Or requires that any of the filter conditions must be met.

      • For filter conditions of different types, their logical relationship is always And, and cannot be changed. Only the objects that meet all different types of filter conditions will be filtered.

    5. Click Create to create the filter, or you can click Cancel to cancel without saving any changes.
