Thanks @Steven Shull.
Achieved this with below code added in inboxportlet.jsp with out java code edit.
<tr>
<td width="50%" class="pih" nowrap>
<span class="<%=textcss%> pihl"></span>
<input type="text" id="inboxFilter1" class="text"
onkeydown="handleEnterKey(event)" />
</td>
<td width="50%" class="pih" nowrap>
<span class="<%=textcss%> pihl"></span>
<input type="text" id="inboxFilter2" class="text"
onkeydown="handleEnterKey(event)" />
</td>
</tr>

Subject: How to enable or create filter option in Inbox / Assignment portlet in Start Centers
This is a bigger item because you would need to modify the start center portlet code. It's not impossible as you've shown but is not a supported configuration option. And you'd need to maintain this configuration across versions of Maximo.
For what it's worth, the new Operational Dashboard in MAS does support filtering on assignments. Start centers at this point are not actively being enhanced (though for clarity, are still being supported) so it's unlikely you'll see IBM enhance this.
