Adding and removing filters

Filters provide specialized views for tasks. Filters let you separate tasks according to the back-end systems where the tasks originate or by a particular context. When you add filters, the Unified Task List portlet displays tasks separated according to the task provider instance. For example, you can add a filter for tasks that come from Process Server portlet so that these tasks are not displayed with all other tasks in the Unified Task List portlet.
