Filters allow a user to tailor the results returned by CodeMatrix queries and the actions of updates, by restricting the operation to revisions that match specified criteria, such as revision date or user. By using a filter a user can view the database state as it existed at a previous point in time, check out old file revisions, create branches based on non-current revisions back out changes, and a variety of other tasks which require access to historic data or identifiable data sets.

CXInsight uses filters in conjunction with extended list functions to implement the view facility.
