**How to use Form Filters to Trace Data**

#### Flow Manager allows you to trace data to determine important information for Quality Control. This article provides an example of how you can do this in OFS.

In this example, we are trying to find the pallet number from a specific form.

**Go to Flow Manager**

- Open Analytics \> Flow Manager

**Set your lines and date range **

- Click the **‘Change Selection’** tab in the top-right.
- Choose the **Date** and **Line** you're investigating.

- Head to the **‘Settings’** tab.
- Add the **‘Name’** column from the right-hand side.
- While in **‘Settings’**, add the key column that holds your tracking info.
  
    - Example: **Aerosol WO Start – Can Batch Number**

**Filter to the Specific Form**

- Click **‘Filter’** \> **‘+’ button**
- Select **‘Name’**
- Choose the form you're after (e.g., **Aerosol WO Start Flow**)
