Filter Builder Command Buttons
Figure 4-12 Filter Builder Command Buttons
Edit – permits you to edit existing filter conditions. Double clicking
the filter condition is the same as choosing Edit.
Add– permits you to add new filter conditions. You may add a filter
condition to a Request because you want to either create a filter
condition for the first time or further narrow the filter on a Request.
Example: The filter on a certain Request currently specifies Cars Color
Is Like Red. Now you want to narrow the condition so that
the report displays only red cars with a sale price more than
$7,000. You already have the condition for red cars specified.
Now you must add a second filter condition, Cars Sale Price
Is More Than 7000.
Or – permits you to broaden filter conditions by splitting two
conditions into an either/or pair. (Either red cars or cars sold during
1988.) See “The “OR” “Connector” on page 4-37.
“(“ and “)” – let you control the order in which conditions are
evaluated when Or is used to combine conditions. See “Using
Parenthesis to Change Order of Evaluation” on page 4-38.
Delete – removes the selected filter condition.
Warning: Once you exit the Filter Builder, deleted conditions cannot be
retrieved. (If you previously saved this Request, you may be
able to abandon the changes (including the deleted filter
condition), by choosing Cancel.)
Ask at Runtime Options – displays the Ask at Runtime Options
window for setting additional filter values at runtime. See “Ask at
Runtime Options” on page 4-24 for more information.
