Editing export and internal transfer profile filters
To edit filters:
- Open an export, or internal transfer profile.
- Click Manage by the Filter field to open Filter Designer.
- Select a filter from the filter pane, and click Edit.
-
To add new data elements, select a data element in the left
hand pane and drag and drop the item into the filter pane.
As you drop the data element, the Filter Criteria dialog is displayed.
-
Click the
Allow All Values check box
or select an operator from the drop down list and enter a decimal value
underneath.
Note: When creating multiple filters, ensure that the filter logic has been correctly sequenced. An
AND
orOR
operator can behave differently if sequenced in a different order, even though the selection is the same. The displayed text value assists you in this.Note: The Not Equals filter operator works the same as the equivalent filter operator in Microsoft SQL Server, and excludes null columns from comparison. To include all records in a comparison using Not Equals, specify<value> IS NULL
.For example, you could create the filter FilterByState as
State Not Equal 'Middlesex' OR State IS NULL
. -
Click OK. The filter clause is displayed as a text value in the
Filter Designer window.
Note: If necessary, these characteristics can be amended or deleted by right-clicking the data element in the filter pane.
- When you finish amending filters, click Save then Close.
- Select the filter in the Filter field. The filter name is displayed in the relevant profile.
