In Cloud for Customer

1. Go to Business Configuration work center
2. Navigate to Implementation Projects view
3. Mark the relevant project and Open Activity List
4. Select the dropdown to be All Activities
5. Click on the Advance Search button
6. Under Activity Type, click on the More Options button
7. Open the Exclude section and set the Condition to Equals to, and enter in the value (example: Instructional)
8. Click OK and press Go

 

In this example, the search results for excluding Instructional activities shown only Instructional activities, the opposite of what was searched for.

This is a current system behaviour in the filter search. The query entered is considering excluded values as include, which is resulting in an incorrect search list.

This has been added to the product backlog and it will be fixed in upcoming releases.
