Filter Expression Example

Basic filter expressions are very easy to specify in Openspace. This example shows how to display all work item scheduling events that were created by tibco-admin.

Note: This same example can also be used if you need to filter on only a single criteria. In which case, skip steps 4 and 5.

Procedure

  1. Display the event list filter dialog by clicking on the Filter button on the event list.
  2. From the Grouping section on the filter dialog, double-click on the All Of entry:

    The All Of entry is added to the Filter section:

    All Of indicates that if “all of” the filter criteria that is specified below that icon is true for a work item, the work item is returned from the server and displayed in the work item list.

    Note - The filter expression defaults to an “all of” expression. Therefore, this step is technically not necessary for this type of expression. It is being added here for completeness.

  3. From the Attributes section on the filter dialog, double-click the Principal Name attribute:

    Note that you can also "drag and drop" the PrincipalId attribute into the Filter section, or right click and select Insert Item.

    The PrincipalId data-entry dialog is displayed in the Filter section. This is the first criteria that must be true for the event to be displayed in the list.

  4. In the PrincipalId data-entry dialog, select “equal” from the drop-down list and type tibco-admin in the field below, then click the Add button:
