Define the column filter criteria

For each column filter you include in the query, you must configure the filter criteria. For example, you might want to only see alarms for a specific operator.

Define a column filter

1. Right-click the field and then select Edit Filter. The Define Filter dialog box appears.

   

2. In the Operator list, select the operator you need.

3. In the Value box, type the criteria that must be matched. The Value box does not accept values that cannot be processed for the selected query. The Value box accepts the following wildcard characters when the Like and Not Like filter operators are used for alphanumeric column names:

   Character	Finds
   %	Any string of zero or more characters
   _	Any single character
   [ ]	Any single character within the specified range, for example [a-f], or within a set, for example [abcdef].
   [^]	Any single character not within the specified range, for example [^a-f], or set, for example [^abcdef].

   The following Value box limits apply to different fields:

   Field	Limit
   All fields	All alphanumeric characters except User1, User2 and Priority.
   Priority	Accepts integer values from 1 to 999.
   User1, User2	Accepts only negative, positive or fractional numbers.

4. Select OK.
