# Filters

When running the validation, it might be possible that some of the components are not subject to further inspection, but still, they are returned as they contain errors. To ease the review of the results, the Validation Issues view can be filtered by multiple criteria.

You can hide/show filters by clicking the collapse/expand button highlighted in a red frame on the screenshot above.

### Filter by effective time <a href="#validationissueviewfeatures-filterbyeffectivetime" id="validationissueviewfeatures-filterbyeffectivetime"></a>

Validation issue items can be filtered by publication status. Set an Effective Time range, or click the **`Unpublished checkbox`**.

### Filter by concept status <a href="#validationissueviewfeatures-filterbyconceptstatus" id="validationissueviewfeatures-filterbyconceptstatus"></a>

This option filters the validation results by the status of the concept of the erroneous components.

### Filter by affected component status <a href="#validationissueviewfeatures-filterbyaffectedcomponentstatus" id="validationissueviewfeatures-filterbyaffectedcomponentstatus"></a>

This option filters the validation results by the status of the erroneous components.

### Filter by affected component module <a href="#validationissueviewfeatures-filterbyaffectedcomponentmodule" id="validationissueviewfeatures-filterbyaffectedcomponentmodule"></a>

This option filters the validation results by the module of the erroneous components. Useful when an extension author would like to hide errors that are coming from another extension or the international release.

### Issue fetch limit <a href="#validationissueviewfeatures-issuefetchlimit" id="validationissueviewfeatures-issuefetchlimit"></a>

Users can specify the maximum number of items that should appear in the **Validation Issues View** per rule. The number set will also have an effect on the number of items loaded when pressing **`Load more...`**

### Highlighting violations in the Validation Issues View <a href="#validationissueviewfeatures-highlightingviolationsinthevalidationissuesview" id="validationissueviewfeatures-highlightingviolationsinthevalidationissuesview"></a>

The **Validation Issue View** now highlights SNOMED CT Description term-related word violation errors (using a bold font style inside the affected component label). This is to help identify the reason why a description was reported under a specific rule (e.g.: spell-check or dialect rules).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.b2ihealthcare.com/snow-owl-authoring-platform/validation/validation-issue-view/filters.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
