Filter information

The "Filter information" element belongs to the "Filter" element category.

It provides information about the status of the filter that is applied to a dependent element, e.g. if a value selection list filters a dependent view table. The filter information will then display a button with the filter currently active, e.g. Category A or B. Clicking on this button will deactivate the filter.

 

The filter information can be found in the "Applications" module in the "Elements" area. New filter information can be created by positioning the element on the workspace from here using drag & drop.

All information for creating elements can be found here.

The properties dialog of the filter information opens automatically when a new filter information is created. The properties dialog of an existing filter information can be opened by double-clicking on the element on the workspace, via the "Properties" context menu or via the "Edit / Properties" main menu if the filter information is selected on the workspace.
