        1. Only Orders where the Order Status is not Canceled AND orders that were created on or after the date you have selected will appear in the list.
      9. To further filter the list by Customer ID add one more condition to your filter. Click the + and set the condition for “Customer ID” and “Is Any Of”.
      10. Choose a customer or customers to ‘Filter In’ based on customers that you select with <enter a value>
      11. After entering in all the above, click “Apply” and the list will filter based on your criteria.
