Adding multiple filters to a grid

First available in TMW Operations: 2018.1

You can customize and apply multiple filters in one location using the Column Filters window.

  • The Columns drop-down list corresponds to the Field Chooser list in the grid. This allows you to add filters to columns without locating them in the grid.

  • You can add multiple filters to an individual column.

  • You can customize the criteria applied to the filter using conditions.

  • You can save filter settings you apply to a layout.

Column filters apply logic within an individual column and between different columns.

  • When you apply multiple filters to a column, you must use the same Filter Conjunction for all column filters. This creates a "column group" that returns a distinct set or results.

  • To determine filtering between two or more columns, use the Column Conjunction operator. This determines how the filter treats the different "column groups."

To apply column filters to a data grid, follow these steps:

  1. Open the window that contains the grid you want to filter.

  2. Right-click anywhere in the data grid.
    A shortcut menu opens.

  3. Select Column Filters.
    The Column Filters window opens.

  4. Click Add Filter.
    A blank filter row appears.

  5. Make entries in the following fields:

    Field Definition

    Column

    Lists columns that appear in the grid’s Field Chooser

    Condition

    Filter condition you are applying to limit the results

    Note: Available conditions are similar to the text filters used to filter data in spreadsheets. For example, Equals, Not Equals, LessThan, GreaterThan, etc.

    Filter Conjunction

    When applying multiple filters to a single column:

    • Select And to return listings that match all the given values.

    • Select Or to return listings that match one or more of the given values.

    Note: All filters for an individual column must use the same conjunction.

    Value

    Value you are using to filter the results

  6. If your filter includes multiple columns, select an option from the Column Conjunction drop-down field.

    • Select And to return listings that match criteria for all column groups.

    • Select Or to return listings that match criteria for at least one column group.

  7. Click Apply Filter.
    Your data is filtered using the criteria you selected.

    Notes:

    1. If the filter does not retrieve data, the grid display is blank. The system does not inform you that a filter is applied to the grid.

    2. The [.NetMisc]ShowFilterRowChangesFromDefault=Y setting in your TTS50 applies to filters applied using the window as well as the filter row.

To clear a column filter, follow these steps:

  1. In the Column Filters window, click on the filter you want to remove.

  2. Click Remove Filter.

  3. Click Apply Filter.
    The filter you selected is removed from the data grid.
