Filters
A filter restricts what records appear in a list by providing a set of conditions each record must meet to be included in the list.
A condition consists of the following parts.
- Field: Each field contains data from a particular column in the table. Selecting a reference field enables you to dot-walk to data from other tables.
- Operator: Each field type has its own set of valid operators. The operator determines if a value is needed.
- Value: Each field has its own set of valid values determined by the field type. Reference fields have access to auto-complete, and choice lists provide a list of options.
- Grouping: Each condition line is grouped with either an AND or OR connector. The filter requires all condition lines linked with an AND connector to be met. The filter separately evaluates each condition line linked with an OR connector.
Note:
If you open a list for a table you have create permissions for, apply a filter for a
field, and click New in the list header. The same field is
automatically populated with the value you set in the filter on the new record.
Create filters on a list using the condition builder.
