Value Data Types

When configuring filter critera for specific attributes, the value entered in the Value field must match the data type for the attribute selected.

The following describes the valid data types:

Data Type Description
Numeric Consists of one or more of the numbers 0-9. Used for things like work item ID and priority. The data entry field for numeric values will not allow you to enter any characters other than numbers.
Text Consists of any number of letters, numbers, or special characters (e.g., #, $, etc.). Used for things like process instance ID and work item description.

Filtering on text is case sensitive.

Note that text attributes are the only attribute types with which you can use wildcard characters. For more information, see Wild Card Characters.
