   On the Region/Practice/Group lists, the values are listed in alphabetic order by name, not by hierarchy.

   Each filter operates as an OR statement. For instance, if you select region A and region B, the resources in both regions are shown. Similarly, if you select regions A and B and groups C and D, resources from regions A and B and groups C and D are shown.

   If no resources are shown you can try widening the search, by selecting --None-- for some or all of the criteria and clearing the checkboxes.
