Fields and Data This display includes:
	Alert Name Filter	Select from a list of alert types or select All Alert Types. Filters limit display content and drop down menu selections to only those items that pass through the selected filter's criteria. Therefore if no items match the filter, you may see nothing in a given display and may not have any options available in the drop-down menu(s). NOTE: Filter selection is disabled on drill down summary displays.
