Posted by Andrew Gould on 03 June 2019
This video explains how to filter items in Outlook using DASL filter syntax. You'll learn how to reference schema names and property names and how to write filters for a variety of Outlook item properties. You'll learn how to use wildcards and the Like operator to compare strings, how to filter the body text of an email and how to use date filter macros to return items within date periods. In the last part of the video you'll learn a technique for converting local dates and times into UTC dates and times to ensure that your date filters work correctly.

When you've finished viewing a video in full screen mode, just press the Esc key to return to normal view.
Improving the quality of a video
To improve the quality of a video, first click on the Settings icon:

Make sure you're playing your video so that the icons shown appear, then click on this gear icon at the bottom right-hand corner.
Choose to change the video quality:

Click on Quality as shown to bring up the submenu.
The higher the number you choose, the better will be your video quality (but the slower the connection speed):

Don't choose the HD option unless you have a fast enough connection speed to support it!
