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 (for example, #, $). 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. If you are filtering on text that contains any of the four special characters (*, ?, ‘, or \), they must be “escaped”. For information, see Filtering on Special Characters.
