This page offers the possibility to create two different types of lists

• Filtered lists
  This is a list of users that is created using one to many filters. Each filter consists of several parameters and the if many parameters is combined the filter will be using AND to get the users. This means that if you select "All active users" and one tool category, you will get users that are active and have license for a tool in the selected category. When many filters are combined the system will use OR to get the list of users. This means that if one filter says "All active users that have license on a tool in a category" and the other filter says "All active users that have the role Lab User" the list of users will consist of active users that either have a license on a tool in the selected category or/and have the user role Lab User. A filter list is dynamic, which means that if something changes with a user the list will automatically get updated.
• Users lists
  This is a specific list of users. You have the possibility to add users to your lists and also remove them. You add users by apply different filters and then check the users you want to add. A user list is static, which means that if you have created a user list based on a specific filter and a change is applied to one user which will cause he/she not to appear in the filter anymore, the user will still remain in your user list.
