  8. If you want to filter the data included in the summation, add an AND filter or OR filter as needed. Adding an AND filter group produces a subset of records that meet all filter conditions. Adding an OR filter group produces a subset of records that meet any of the filter conditions. PCS processes filters in a filter group in descending order beginning with the filter at the top of the filter group. Refer to the Themes and Filter Groups for Pipeline Records sections Add or Edit an AND Filter Group for Pipeline Records and Add or Edit an OR Filter Group for Pipeline Records for information on using these filters.
