Suppose that you provide database administration services for several hospitals in your state. For administrative purposes, patient statistics are kept in a master table that rolls up data from all hospital sites that you administer. Nurses and doctors within each hospital need access to the PATIENTS table, but they need only rows for the patients in their hospital. To handle the needs of each hospital, you could create different views on the table and then create a separate subscription for each view; however, this approach could be time-consuming if you have multiple groups. Instead, you can create a data filter that specifies the subset of data that each group can access.
These steps are part of the larger task of creating a group or editing a group. When you complete the steps for defining a data filter, return to the main task.
To define a data filter for a group:
If you assign a data filter for an individual user in the group, the user filter values override this default.
