Filter Criteria Fields

The criteria available for filtering a profile view depend on the table you are using to filter the profile. However, the filtering operation is similar, regardless of the data. Use the information in the following sections to help you understand how to select and define information to filter a profile view.

New Criteria

The New Criteria section allows you to filter the data in the selected table that will be included in the filter output.

Field/Button Description
Field Name The available field names are populated based on the table you choose to filter. Commonly filtered fields appear as selectable buttons below the field list, or you can click the drop-down list to display all fields in the table.
Operator The Operator field describes how to filter the Field Name for the filter. Selections in the Operator list vary based on the data type of the selected field.
Value The Value field is used in conjunction with the Operator to filter the data in the selected field.
Add/Update

The Add button adds the field/operator/value combination to the filter criteria and displays the filter in the Criteria section at the bottom of the page. This button changes to Update when you edit an existing criteria line.

Clear The Clear button clears all of the selections in the New Criteria section of the page.

Criteria

The Criteria section displays the criteria lines that have been added to the filter. This section will be blank until you add a criteria line to the filter.

Field/Button Description Notes
