# Like and Not Like Filter Operations

The user can enable the filter and lookup for specific dimensions via the Data Type Definition step for a Data Store. All the selected (enabled) dimensions list with the sub-values, while for the disabled ones, no sub-values appear. This operation applies to both Local and Global filters.

* Navigate to the Data Type Definition page for a Data Store (the image displays the Data Type Definition page for the Data Store where Dimensions like ***gender**, **skills,*** and ***ename*** are enabled for the filter lookup function, but ***source, previous\_organisation,*** and ***team*** are disabled from the filter lookup.

* Click the ***Apply*** icon.
