The Collection Filter or Rule Collection Filter steps allow users to create custom Rules or Flows to filter a list. The Collection Filter utilizes a Flow with two end stops: Include in Collection and Exclude from Collection. The Rule Collection Filter can return matches, non-matches, or both.  The Flow or Rule created by this step to filter the list is stored in the Folder View report by changing the Report view to include hidden items
