Angles for SAP contains a large number of pre-defined Angles, Dashboards, and Templates out of the box. Daily use by your organization will further increase the number of available items. There are various filter options available that are essential for finding the correct information. You can also mark your own favorites and a collection of predefined quick filters is available.
The filter pane consists of the following sections:

You can show/hide this pane by clicking

Business process filters
Angles for SAP is business process-oriented. All Angles, Dashboards, and Templates are labeled to belong to one or more business processes. Depending on your installation and access rights, the search results will only show items from the active business processes. When you have access rights to more than one business process you can decrease or increase the number of search results by selecting or deselecting one or more business processes. See also Business processes. Note that when you select all business processes this will have the same effect on your results as when you deselect all business processes.
The following business process filters are available:
Purchase to Pay
Supply to Demand
Order to Cash
Finance to Report
Plant Maintenance
Quality Management
Human Capital Management
Governance, Risk and Compliance
Information Technology
Tags
You can add custom tags to your Angles (see Editing the tags) and your Dashboards (see Editing the tags). You can then use these tags and tags that other users of the system have created as additional filter options (see Filtering the search results). A collection of the tags that are used most often is displayed under the tag search.
