# Configure exclude filters

Before you begin

Create ECSpec reports

Exclude filters allow you to specify which tags will be excluded from an ECSpec report. You can filter tags based on any of the fields for the tag format chosen.

If there are no include filters, then tags will be included in the report unless they match any exclude filters.

You use the ECSpec Editor to create exclude filters:

1. Display ECSpec Editor.
2. In the left pane of the ECSpec Editor, select Reports.

   Each report for this ECSpec is listed in the Reports table.

3. Select the radio button next to the report for which you want to configure exclude filters and click Exclude Filters.

   The Exclude Filters table displays the exclude filters for that report.

4. Click New.
5. On the Tag Format page, select the Tag Format for the include filter and click Next.

   For more information on tag formats, see EPCglobal Tag Data Standards.

6. On the Create Exclude Filter page, fill in the fields for that tag format (the fields shown depend on the format chosen), and click OK.

   For detailed information, see ECFilterSpec.

7. To add more report filters to the current ECSpec, repeat steps 2 through 5.

   Changes are saved when you deploy the ECSpec.

8. When you have finished adding report filters to the ECSpec, deploy it as described in Create ECSpecs.
