In a filter list with Common_Cycle_icon.png in the title bar, click Common_Cycle_icon.png  one or more times until the list from which you want to select filter values is displayed.

Example: In an organization list, you can use the cycle icon to display and select from a list of organizations for each organizational level. Thus, if your organizational structure has four levels, you could cycle through four lists, one for each organizational level.
