Filter - Operator

The "Operator" element is part of the "Filter" element category.

This filter can be used, for example, to compare a view table with an operation, which is connected to the filter via a dependency.

Three fields are available in the filter:

1. Selection of the data field whose values are to be compared

2. Operator

3. Value for which the table is being filtered

 

The "Operator" filter can be found in the "Elements" section of the "Applications" module. A new filter can be created by dragging and dropping the element from here and positioning it on the workspace.

All the information for creating elements can be found here.

The properties dialog of the filter opens automatically when a new filter is created. The properties dialog of an existing filter can be opened by double clicking on the element on the workspace, via the "Properties" context menu, or via the "Edit/Properties" main menu if the filter is selected on the workspace.
