  • Equals Targets - When the target filter is set to this option, only documents that match the target(s) listed in the Target filter exactly will be returned (i.e. if the filter is set to de-DE, a document that has de-DE and fr-FR will not be included in the results). If the Target filter is blank and set to Equals Targets only documents without targets will be returned.
