Specifying a Filter Expression
The filtering function allows you to build a “filter expression” that is applied to all items that could potentially be in the list. If an item satisfies the filter expression, it is shown in the list; if it does not satisfy the filter expression, it is not shown in the list.
Specifying a filter expression is done using the Filter dialog:
This dialog may be displayed in a number of ways: by clicking the Filter button, by selecting Filter from the View menu on the list menu bar, or when creating a view with the view wizard.
Specifying a filter expression is done from the Filter dialog. It involves doing the following:
Procedure
- Choosing a Filter Grouping - This specifies “All Of” or “Any Of” — see Choosing a Filter Grouping.
- Selecting Filter Attributes - The values in the attributes you choose determine whether or not each item is included in the list — see Selecting Filter Attributes.
- Applying the Filter Expression - This tells you how many items will be returned from the server and shown in the list — see Applying the Filter Expression.
