Just like Exports, you can add multiple exports, click and drag the exports to re-order them, or click the X at the end of the Filter box to remove them.
Using OR and NOT in Filters
An important thing to keep in mind about Filters is that by adding additional filters, you are adding additional conditions that your results have to meet. However, there may be times when you want to query for applications that meet only one of multiple conditions. In the below example, we will walk through how the query “reads” your filters, so that you can better understand how to set up filters to achieve the results you need!
Let’s say you wanted to query for PhD applications who either have a student visa or are US citizens. At first you may add those filters to your query like this:
...
However, these filters will not show you the results you’re looking for. These filters are showing all the PhD applications where the applicant reported they have a student visa AND they reported they’re a US citizen; basically, any applications that meet all three of these conditions. In order to show applications that meet either the correct Visa Type or correct Citizenship Status, we can use “OR.” Click and drag the “OR” button from the right side of the screen to between your filters.
...
The number of results skyrocketed! However, these filters are still not quite correct. The “OR” function has separated the filters into two groups: “Degree Type” and “Visa Type” in one group, and “Citizenship Status” in another group. So this query is now showing you all the PhD applications with an F1 visa, AND showing you all applications that are US Citizens - regardless of the degree type. We can solve this problem using the parentheses at the right, dragging them into the filters like so:
...
Now this query is showing us the PhD applications with either an F1 student visa or US citizenship, which was our initial goal!
Remember, if you ever need help with building a query you can always reach out to your evaluator or the rest of the Graduate Admissions team!
