Once Add Expression is selected, three drop-downs will appear:
The first drop-down will always be the list of all field names in the feature class/table opened in the Attribute Table. Here the user selects the field they want to create a filter on.
The second drop-down is a list of operators to create the filter.
The third drop-down is set to Value by default.

To filter based on a specific value, click the settings button, choose Value, and specify a value in the field.

To filter based on a specific value in the field, choose Unique in the settings to retrieve a dynamic list of values from the layer.
To filter on multiple values in the field, choose Multiple in the settings to retrieve a dynamic list of values from the layer while using either the is any of or is none of the operators.
If Unique is selected, the user can start typing and the list will auto-populate with the options to choose from. If the specific option is not listed – the user will need to click Search More.
