Configuring text filters

  1. Select a text field in a layout. A toolbar is displayed in the properties panel.
  2. In the toolbar of the properties panel, click Text Filters to open a dialog box that shows all input fields that have data type Text.
  3. For the appropriate fields, select one of these options:
    No Filter
    This option indicates that currently no text filtering is applied. All lines are printed as is.
    Show External Text
    This option indicates that external text should be displayed:
    • For lines that start with ‘>’, the initial character is removed before printing.
    • Lines that start with ‘<’ are not printed.
    • Other lines are printed as is.
    Show Internal Text
    This option indicates that internal text should be displayed:
    • For lines that start with ‘<’, the initial character is removed before printing.
    • Lines that start with ‘>’ are not printed.
    • Other lines are printed as is.
    Custom Filter
    This option indicates that the text is filtered based on the settings for this text field in the Extension Modeler.

    For more information about custom text filtering in Infor LN, see the Infor LN Extensions Development Guide.

    Note: If a text filter is defined in the standard report, these options are available:

    External text:

    • Show External Text
    • Custom Filter & Show External Text

    Internal text:

    • Show Internal Text
    • Custom Filter & Show Internal Text
    The Custom Filter option can be combined with the Show External Text option or the Show Internal Text option. If this is the case, the filter of the standard report script is processed after the custom filter is processed.
