## Procedure

3.  In the filter definition page, go to the Request filter configuration section, and select **New**.

    You can edit the default filters **Status** and **Updated** available with the default tabs **For you** and **For others**. You can also add new filters to the tabs as required. In the Associated tabs sections, you can associate tabs to filters according to your organizational requirement.
