Filtering the Display

On some pages, you can limit the display to items that match the criteria that you enter. In the Filter text box, type the criteria, then click Apply Filter. Here are guidelines for using the Filter text box:

  • Use spaces to separate criteria. The filter matches ALL of the criteria entered.

  • You can enter letters and numerals, not case-sensitive.

  • You can enter the following special ASCII symbols:

    ! @ $ % ^ (caret) * = ( ) [ ] { } < > / ?

    | (vertical bar) _ (underscore) ‘ (accent) ~ (tilde) : (colon) , (comma) . (period)

  • Do not use the following ASCII symbols to filter:

    # & + ; (semicolon) ‘ (single quote) “ (double quote)

  • You can enter a lowercase field name, followed by a colon, followed by a value. The field names vary depending on the screen.

  • You can enter a lowercase condition, followed by a colon, followed by a Boolean value. The conditions vary depending on the screen.

  • You can enter a minus sign (-) to negate any criterion.

Examples:

files  Matches any item that contains “files” in any field.

f!|@$ Matches any item that contains “f!|@$” in any field.

volume:files Matches any item that contains “files” in the Volume field.

readonly:true Matches any item that has Read Only enabled.

volume:files readonly:true Matches any item that contains “files” in the Volume field AND that has Read Only enabled.
