The viewable advanced filter element is a small list with an "Add" and "Remove" button. When clicking "Add" button, a small add filter dialog will appear. In this dialog you can choose between all the axes that you have allowed for the advanced filter in the editor mode. If the axis you choose has answer options related to it, then you can choose those options that should be included. If the question is numeric or scale type, then you will be offered to specify a range in between which users to be included should have answered. When you click "Add" on the button of the dialog then the chosen new filter requirements will be added to the filter list. You can add as many simultaneous filters as you like. The users to be included will have to fulfill all.
