Filter a list of records on forms to display only those records that meet your specified criteria.

  • The system applies the filter in addition to any filter criteria specified in a Dataspy that is applied to the list.

  • To filter multiple fields simultaneously on the list view, click Grid Menu, and then select Show Filter Row. The system displays the filter row on the list view. Select the operators for multiple fields, click Filter Menu, and then click Run Filter. The system displays the records matching the filter criteria.

  1. Open any form containing a list of records.

    On list views, the system displays the number of records that were located using the specified Dataspy on the filter bar.

  2. Select the Filter field on which to filter from the first drop-down list.

    For forms that include custom fields, the custom fields are displayed at the end of the filter drop-down list. Only custom fields associated to the entity of the screen AND associated to a class with an organization for which the user has query rights will be displayed. If more than one entity exists for the screen, then only the primary entity will be used.

    The field being queried, which is the first field of the three, defaults to the first column in the grid unless the first column is a non-data bound select check box. To change the default quick filter, modify the grid layout then save the changes.

    See Saving the list layout.

    The operator of the quick filter, which is the second field of the three, can default to Starts With or Contains. Set the value of the QUICKDEF install parameter to S or C.

  3. Select an operator from the second drop-down list. See the following table for operator options:
