Filtering Data¶
JustWare's snap-ins are equipped with powerful search filters that allow you to navigate quickly to the data for which you are searching.
Each filter drop-down menu contains the following options:
- All: Displays all results of the search.
- Custom: Allows you to define custom parameters to narrow down your search.
- Blanks: Displays all results that contain no data.
- NonBlanks: Displays all results that contain data.
Using Custom Filters¶
- Click the filter button and select Custom. A filter dialog appears.
- Click Add a Condition to define a parameter for your filter. Operator and Operand drop-down fields appear at the top of the dialog box.
-
Click the Operator drop-down, and select one of the following options:
