1. Executing tests using Data Filters on Data Files
We will use a different Data File that contains test data of all the 3 Test Cases (States - NJ, NY, PA) and apply filters on a particular State to execute the test only for that State. 
2. Practice
First, create a Data Filter for the State NJ: 
Now, change the filter from New Jersey to New York and re-execute the tests, to do that, follow these steps:
- Click Menu and Click Data Filters

 - Select HICC - Input and Expected Outputs - WIP in Data Definition dropdown.
 - In the name field update name as 'Filter on State_Code NJ' (Mandatory)
 - Select the attribute as State-Code and operator as (=)
 - In the value Field, Type NJ for New Jersey.
 - To check if the filter is working, select the file in Data File dropdown and click on (Show Filtered Data). The filtered results should display as expected.
 - Click on Save and Exit.
