Value Data Types

When configuring filter criteria, 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
Number 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.
String Consists of any number of letters, numbers. Used for things like process instance ID and work item description.

Filtering on text is case sensitive.

Date Dates can be entered by using the “date picker” on the filter data-entry dialog.

Times, if specified, must be entered manually. If you enter a date, but not a time, it assumes “all times” for the specified date. All times use the 24-hour clock.

For more information about entering dates and times in the Filter data entry dialog, see DateTime Data Types.

Enumeration Select a valid entry from the drop-down list.
