Configure search conditions for attribute values when a template is specified

Before you configure search conditions, you should be aware of the following:

• Unindexed attributes can take a significant amount of time to evaluate, particularly if they are configured with a data reference.

• You cannot search for attributes with Object or Array value types.

You can restrict your search based on the value of an attribute. After you specify a template (required in versions prior to PI AF 2018), use the Attribute Value field to configure up to three conditions that the search must match regarding an attribute value.

1. Click (Display attribute choices) and select an attribute from the list of possible attribute categories:

   Option	Description
   	Indexed attributes, including configuration attributes.
   	Configuration attributes that are not indexed.
   	Non-configuration attributes that are not indexed.

2. Click , and select a mathematical operator from the list.

   • For attribute value types Single and Double, queries do not support the In operator.

   • For attribute value types String, Boolean, and Int64, queries do not support the following operators:

     • < (less than)

     • > (greater than)

     • <= (less than or equal to)

     • >= (greater than or equal to)

3. Enter a value in the units specified by the default UOM in the attribute template.

   Note: For indexed attributes that store String value types, the search only uses the first 40 characters of the entered value.
