- `filter` string: Filter string in the format `field:operator:value`. To provide multiple filters, separate them with commas. Available operators: `eq`, `ne`, `in`, `not_in`, `gt`, `gte`, `lt`, `lte`. - For `in` and `not_in` operators, provide multiple values separated by the pipe character (`|`). Available fields: `id`, `companyEntityId`, `code`, `sourceType`, `status`, `type`, `createdAt`.
