Event Filter Masks

When filtering event lists, the user can select, from a drop-down list, among the possible event attribute values for the selected attribute.

For example, when adding the “Priority” event attribute to the filter expression, the drop-down list on the Filter dialog allows the user to select LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH:

The masks that are used to provide the drop-down list for each event attribute are defined in the FilterMaskEventAttributes record in the application’s config.xml file. For example, the following mask in config.xml provides the drop-down list shown above:

<record jsxid="FilterMaskEventAttributes">
   <EventAttribute name="priority">
      <AttributeValue name="LOW"/>
      <AttributeValue name="MEDIUM"/>
      <AttributeValue name="HIGH"/>
   </EventAttribute>
          .
          .

          .

To define/extend the set of values in a drop-down list, add AttributeValue elements as children of the EventAttribute element, where the name attribute of the AttributeValue element defines the value displayed to the user.

For information about modifying the config.xml file to update the event filter masks, see Introduction.
