AND/OR and Group filter logic
The Cortex advanced filters come with the following filtering options:
AND Filters: identify objects that meet all criteria within the filter. For example, if you want to identify an applicant who was Chief Resident and Applicant status "Invite", you can utilize an AND filter.
OR Filters: identify objects that meet at least one criteria within the filter. For example, if you want to identify an applicant who received the medical degree of DO or Applicant Status "Invite", you can use an OR filter.
Group filters: sets the boundaries for an AND/OR filters. An AND/OR filter can be grouped between two fields within a larger filter. For example, if you want to identify all applicants from California AND applicants that are in Invited Status, AND an applicant who is either a member of AOA OR Gold Humanism, you can group the filter for AOA OR Gold Humanism.
