Select when the action must be run, and add filters and/or timing conditions.
In order to create a new filter:

Go to your "Related Document Model" page and set the filter parameters in the "Search" view (Example of filter based on Leads/Opportunities: Creation Date "is equal to" 01/01/2012)
In this same "Search" view, select the menu "Save Current Filter", enter the name (Ex: Create the 01/01/2012) and add the option "Share with all users"

The filter must therefore be available in this page.
