Filter - Operator

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

This filter can be used, for example, to compare a view table that is linked to the filter via a dependency with an operation.

Three fields are available in the filter:

1. Selection of the data field whose values are to be compared

2. Operator

3. Value for which the table is being filtered

 

The "Operator" filter can be found in the "Applications" module in the "Elements" area. A new filter 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 opens automatically when a new filter is created. The properties dialog of an existing filter 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 is selected on the workspace.
