Filtering by Label

To access filters, simply visit the List page for the objects you’re interested in filtering.

To access the filters menu, click the Filter button in the right of the headers and choose the Labels to Include or Exclude.

When multiple labels are added to a Label Filter, they are combined as and operations. In practice, this means that when 2 labels are added to the filter to be included, an object must have both labels to be returned in the search results.
