Filter Panel
- 2 minutes to read
Table Views, Banded Table Views, Card Views, Layout Views, and WinExplorer Views can display a filter panel (also called a filter box) that displays information about the applied filter criteria. The filter panel has two display styles:
Display Style | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
Text (default) | The filter panel displays all constants, operators, and data fields as text, each condition is enclosed in round brackets. A user can click the filter MRU list button to open a filter drop-down window and apply one of the previously used filters to data. | ![]() |
Token | The filter panel displays all operands as colored rectangular boxes (tokens). Each simple condition joined by a logical operator is a token group enclosed in square brackets. A token or token group can display a “Delete” button when the mouse pointer hovers over it. A click on this button removes the token or token group. The panel does not display the filter MRU list button in this mode. | ![]() |
