Simple conditions typically contain one filter criterion. For example:
Use this field to enter a name for the new condition.
Select this check box for Discoverer to create a name for you.
Clear this check box to enter a name for this condition.
Use this field to enter additional information about the condition. This description is displayed when you select this condition in the Workarea, and in Discoverer Plus. Make your description useful to both you and your users.
This field displays the name for folder that will store the condition. This is the location you selected when you chose Insert | Condition.
Use this drop down list to choose the condition type:
Use this field to specify the filter criterion that you want to use.
Use this drop down list to choose what item you want to filter the data on. For example, choose Year here if you want to display data for a particular year.
Use this drop down list to choose how to match data against the item. For example, choose the greater than symbol (>) here to filter data where the item value is greater than a particular number.
Use this field to enter one or more values that you want to use to match against the selected Item. For example, if you want to filter information about people who earn more than $30,000, enter 30,000 here.
If you created a list of values for the item, these items appear in the drop down list.
You can also click the drop down list and match against the following:
You select one or more values to use in the condition.
You create a calculation to use in the condition.
You select an item to use in the condition.
Note: You can enter up to 254 values in this field. If you want to enter more than 254 values in the condition, click Advanced and use the OR option to add a new condition statement line for the extra values.
Use this check box to match upper and lower case text data exactly. When selected, the match value 'New York' would not return data for 'new york'.
Use this button when you want to create more than one filter criterion. Here, you display additional fields and buttons used to create advanced conditions (see "New Condition dialog (Advanced)").
