Specifying Selection Criteria in Utilities and Activities

In many utilities and activities, you select items to process by defining a range of values or several ranges of values. Range fields are pairs of fields with which you specify a starting value and an ending value.

Range fields can apply to identification numbers such as purchase order numbers or line numbers, dates, names, and most other types of information.

Use this table to specify the appropriate range of values:

To select Specify this information
One value

Specify the same value in both starting and ending fields.

Note:  If you select Set Default Ending Value to Starting Value on the General Parameters form, then in any form where you can specify a range of values, the value you specify in the starting field is automatically set as the default value in the ending field. This only occurs if the ending field is blank.
All available values Leave both the starting and ending fields blank.
Values between and including two values Specify the lower value in the starting field and the higher value in the ending field.
The lowest possible value through a specified value Leave the starting field blank and specify the cutoff value in the ending field.
A specified value through the highest possible value Specify the starting field value and leave the ending field blank.
