Yes. The Community filter and the Campaign filter are independent filter options and can be combined, along with any other Advanced Filter, using AND/OR Conditions. #### What is the difference between the Defined and Not defined variables? Defined returns ideas where the selected field, group, or tag has a value assigned; Not defined returns ideas where it does not. These variables appear on filters such as Groups, Idea Label, System Label, Tag, Moderator Tag, Idea Fields, and Member Fields. #### Can more than one idea custom field or member profile question be filtered at the same time? Not within a single Idea Fields or Member Fields filter instance — only one idea custom field or one member profile question can be selected per instance. Multiple instances of these filters can be added and combined using AND/OR Conditions to filter on more than one field or question at once. #### How are multiple idea numbers entered in the Idea Number filter? Idea numbers are entered into the text box one at a time, pressing Enter after each number to separate them, before applying a variable such as Equals or Greater than. --- **Related Articles** - [Help Article for Idea Portfolio](https://help.ideascale.com/ip?hsLang=en) Last Updated: September 18, 2026   -
