You can filter activities by date and select the level of associations you wish to
depict on a traceability report. You can also choose to remove "second level commits" from
the report.
You must be viewing a traceability report to see the filter icon and
Filter Results button. The traceability page header
indicates current filtering status - whether your activities are being
filtered by date, whether indirect commits are included, and what the association
depth is. In addition, you also see the specific activity ID for which the
traceability report is being depicted and the total number of associations for
that activity.

Click Filter Results.
-
(Optional) Enter valid dates for start and/or end dates; you
can use the pop-up calendars. If no date filter is set, TeamForge
Orchestrate depicts all activities up to the current date. To remove
a previously selected date, click
Clear.
Downstream activities associated with an activity outside the date range are
omitted even if those downstream activities are themselves within the specified
date range. If your date range precludes all activities, an empty report is
depicted.
-
(Optional) Enter the association depth, choosing a value from 1 to 5.
This value controls the number of levels of associations to the central
node displayed in the report. Note that by selecting a higher association
depth load times will increase.
You may see more "rings" on the report than the number of levels you specify
although you will only see activities for the specified number of levels.
-
(Optional) Choose Hide indirect commits to limit the
display to only commits that have a direct relationship to the item being
traced. These "second level commits" are often not related to the item being
traced, and can therefore be excluded, along with any associations that occur
downstream.
