You can filter the Pending My Approval grid by Request Date, Requested By, Request Type, and Additional Information criteria; and the Past Requests grid by Request Date, Requested By, Request Type, Additional Information, and My Decision criteria. Applying multiple filter criteria limits the number of requests displayed.
The filter criteria is retained when navigating to another page in LINQ EP. The filter criteria is not saved when you manually remove or change the filter criteria, close the grid filter, or log out of LINQ EP. The filter values are also removed if your LINQ EP session is timed out.
If necessary, click the
Filter button 
to display the filter criteria boxes that correspond to each heading
on the grid.
Type the filter criteria in each applicable box; use the % sign as a wildcard character. For example, to list all requests for a specific month, type the number of that month followed by the percent sign (e.g., 01% to list all requests submitted in January). You can type the percent sign in the following positions: X%, %X, and %X%.
