Adding Filters 

Use

A filter enables you to start, stop, or disable services, libraries and applications. You can add filters and also edit or delete already created filters.

If you set action filters on configuration template level, the filters apply to all instances. If you set filters for a particular instance, only this instance has such filters applied.
