Filtering a Drop-down List

When searching within a drop-down list for a particular value, it can often be a good idea to limit the contents of the list to make it easier to find the desired value. WinStudio makes it possible to filter the list, thus reducing the number of values presented.

The system displays a list consisting of items that match your criteria. The number of items displayed is limited to the current cap on lists.

NOTES:

You can filter only on drop-down lists for business-data list boxes.
Comparison operators are not supported in filtering drop-down lists.
Validators do not run in Filter-In-Place mode.
In two-column lists, which show an identification number in the left column and a name or description in the right column, filter criteria apply only to the left column. Also, the left column may contain leading spaces and thus require a preceding wildcard when you enter filter criteria.

For example, to find ID numbers starting with '3' in a two-column list, you may need to enter *3*.

To filter on data in the right column, use the Find feature (if available) to open a query form.
