How to create predefined filters in BO

You can create pre defined filter in query panel.,

I think 'predefined' is a term which is confined only to the universe.To my knowledge ,a query panel does not exist in a universe.I guess predefined filter or predefined condition are one and the same and which can be created only in the universe.

I really apologize for my previous response, I gave a contradictory statement that there is no QP in the universe.

QP exists in the universe...

There are 4 filters

Pre defined filters
custom filters
prompts filters
quick filters

Pre defined filters are created at the Universe level.In the Universe window,select the object,right click ,select condition then enter the condition name and filter conditions

when you have a restriction and you dont want to bound the variable or Object then you need to make Predefine filter in Universe. For example. you have city Object and there is couple of people using the same objects and they belong to different branch and manager wants to restrict the data(city) where Manager belong too. Then you need to make a predefine filter and restrict the data like managerCityID = CityID.
In Universe Design you need to click on yellow funnel.
Dialogue window will appear define filter name and write the condition in Where Clause.
Parse it
Apply it.
Ok.
Here you go......
