Filters
Filters are useful for limiting search results to records that meet specific criteria. Basic filters are simple statements that consist of fields, operators, and values.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Field | The label that you see on an attributes page that identifies certain values (attributes). For example, a field on the Product Attributes page is Product Name. |
| Operator | A term used to test the relationship between values. For example, the operator Equals compares the value stored in the system to the value set in the filter and returns only the records that have equivalent values. |
| Value | The assigned attribute. For example, a value for Product Family Type could be Pharmaceutical or Medical Device. |
When you set a filter, you are presented only with selectable options based on the entity you are filtering or the original query you selected to filter. For example, if you are filtering a list of product families, only fields and values related to product families are presented.
The same is true for operators. When adding a date value to a filter, the only operators available for you to select will be those relevant for date fields only.
